Leaders of the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) General Headquarters held formal discussions with Chakma community representatives at Rajiv Nagar village on 14th November 2026, addressing concerns regarding the preservation and sanctity of a memorial site dedicated to Mizo Christian martyr Rohmingthangi. The coordination meeting, chaired by MZP Vice President Sanghmingthanga, was attended by representatives from MZP branches in Serchhip, Darlawn, and West Phaileng, Rajiv Nagar Village Councils I and II, the Zonal Young Chakma Association (YCA), the Zonal Mizoram Chakma Students Union (MCSU), alongside local administrative and police officials, including the Mamit Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) and the West Phaileng Officer-in-Charge.
Addressing the gathering, MZP President Dr C. Lalremruata highlighted the profound emotional and religious significance the martyr holds for the Mizo community, expressing concern over recent reports of misconduct and desecration in the vicinity of the site. He called upon local community leaders to identify those responsible and ensure the premises are strictly protected from anti-social activities. Dr Lalremruata also encouraged the village authorities to handle land-related matters through proper legal avenues, urging that inter-community relations and lawful property transactions remain free from unnecessary friction.
Following the dialogue, a press commune by the MZP highlighted that the Chakma leaders signed a formal resolution at the Rajiv Nagar VC-I House in the presence of the MZP and Mizoram Police. The leadership pledged to facilitate the uninterrupted construction and repair of the memorial site, ensure the shrine grounds are kept free from anti-social activities, refrain from calling community labour on Sundays, adhere to lawful practices regarding property transactions without interference, and actively co-operate with authorities to prevent the entry and settlement of undocumented foreign nationals in the area.
Rohmingthangi is widely revered across Mizoram as a Christian martyr following her death in late 1986. While serving as a dedicated missionary schoolteacher in the remote border areas, she and a 13-year-old pupil were ambushed, brutally assaulted, and murdered along the route between Tuipuibari Centre and Tuipuibari-II while returning with textbooks for local Chakma children. Her faith, sacrifice, and tragic death left an enduring imprint on the Mizo public conscience, establishing her memorial as a place of deep historical and spiritual veneration. MZP leaders had earlier visited Rajiv Nagar to pay their respects at the shrine on the evening of 13th November.
