Mizoram Government Dramatically Reverses SP Transfer Decision Amidst Local Outcry | Guwahati News

The Mizoram government reversed its decision to transfer Sivham Siddarth as the Superintendent of Police (SP) to Lunglei, following widespread protests from local organizations. The initial transfer order, announced on Tuesday, faced opposition because Siddarth’s wife, Navneet Mann, recently took her first post as the district’s Deputy Commissioner. Responding to the outcry, a new order was issued Wednesday, redirecting Siddarth to the nearby Hnahthial district as SP. Meanwhile, Manny Bhusan Singh, the current SP of Hnahthial, will take Siddarth’s former position in Siaha district.

The resistance was led by the Lunglei town village defense party (VDP) coordination committee, expressing dissatisfaction over the removal of the current Lunglei SP, Jerome Lalmuankima. The VDP highlighted Lalmuankima’s positive contributions, particularly in revitalizing the VDPs during his brief tenure. Other groups, such as the Lunglei subheadquarters of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), echoed similar sentiments. They criticized the appointments of non-tribal officers to key positions within the district, including the roles of Deputy Inspector General of Police for the southern range, Deputy Commissioner, and SP.

Ultimately, this response from various district organizations underscores ongoing tensions around administrative appointments and the importance of local representation in Mizoram’s governance.
