The Police Department has augmented police infrastructure, equipment and police housing at all levels.

The Governor said that the state government’s flagship programme ‘Mizoram Bana Kaih (Handholding) Scheme’ was launched on September 19 last year to provide financial assistance and support to entrepreneurs and farmers across the state through a series of targeted programmes designed to promote inclusive economic growth and self-sufficiency.
