Unidentified individuals detonated explosives at the forest guest house, which was being constructed by the Tripura govt at Thaidawr hill, between 2 and 3am on Wednesday. The blast resulted in substantial damage to the incomplete structure.
The MZP issued a statement denouncing the violent act within Mizoram's borders and urged the state govt to investigate the matter, halt Tripura's construction activities, and station state police in the area.
The statement noted, "The fact that the explosion happened at the time the Tripura State Rifles were on duty can be regarded as intention to tarnish the image of Mizoram and also terrorise the villagers of Phuldungsei.
"
At the federal council meeting, which represents the organisation's second-highest decision-making body, members passed a resolution stating that the MZP would maintain its opposition to the Mizoram-Myanmar border fencing, citing concerns about its impact on the unity of 'Zofate' or ethnic Mizos.
The council also resolved to address the issue of excessive fees charged by certain state-funded educational institutions. Additionally, they decided to pursue action against teachers who employ proxy staff, seeking govt intervention against those who use substitutes in their positions.
