Mizoram moves closer to setting up State Human Rights Commission after court intervention

Aizawl, Mar 19 (UNI) The long-pending establishment of the Mizoram State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) is finally gathering momentum, with Chief Minister Lalduhoma informing the Assembly on Wednesday that the government has issued the necessary notifications and created 16 posts for the commission.
Responding to a query raised by Mizo National Front (MNF) legislator K. Laldingliana, the chief minister provided a detailed update on the commission’s progress. According to Lalduhoma, the official notification for the formation of the MSHRC was issued on October 11 last year. This was followed by another government notification on November 14 to constitute a search and selection committee tasked with appointing the chairperson and members of the commission.
The chief minister pointed out that while there have been no major roadblocks, the process of appointing officials, creating a new head of account to manage expenses and salaries, as well as identifying office premises and residential accommodations, are time-consuming steps.
