MZP begins construction of controversial "Zofate Chawlbuk" at Borapansury

Aizawl (Mizonews.Net): The Mizo Zirlai Pawl, the largest students’ body in Mizoram, has started construction the controversial “Zofate chawlhbuk” (Resting House of the Zo tribes) in Borapansury under the Chakma Autonomous District Council on Friday last.

Ground leveling was done first, after which building materials were taken to the place.

There was no report of any trouble and the construction work is believed to be going on smoothly. Earlier, there was a “misunderstanding” with the Chakma community which objected to the construction of “Zofate chawlhbuk”.

As per plan, ‘Zofate chawlhbuk’ will be a two-storey concrete building. It will be 45 feet long and 30 feet wide.

MZP said that the main objective behind the construction of Zofate chawlhbuk in Borapansury village is to preserve the land that had been heroically preserved by the Mizo forefathers for the settlement of their future generations.
