Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma on Wednesday told the state Legislative Assembly he is seriously concerned about a rise in unregulated cross-border trade at Zochachhuah in south Mizoram’s Lawngtlai district, a stretch that lies along the route of the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTT). According to local news platform Tribal Mirror, the chief minister warned that the informal movement of goods across the border is increasing near areas of Myanmar reportedly under the control of the Arakan Army.
Lalduhoma raised the issue while discussing the project road that connects Lawngtlai to the Kaladan corridor, saying the emerging trade patterns at Zochachhuah need attention. His remarks, made in the assembly, flagged both the location of these activities and their proximity to contested territory across the border, underscoring potential regulatory and security challenges for the transport project’s route.
The report, carried by Tribal Mirror and republished by EastMojo, did not provide further detail on specific incidents or any immediate steps ordered by the state government. The chief minister’s comments draw attention to the need for clearer regulation and monitoring of cross-border movement along strategic infrastructure corridors such as the KMMTT.
