Aizawl, Feb 9, 2026: Lalduhoma on Sunday reviewed the progress of plans to utilise surplus land owned by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) across major Indian cities for Mizoram government projects.
The review followed a meeting held on July 7, 2025, between the Chief Minister and the BSNL Chairman-cum-Managing Director, where discussions focused on how BSNL-owned land in key urban centres could be leveraged by the Mizoram government.
To take the process forward, the General Administration Department (GAD) has appointed the Mizoram Tourism Development Authority (MTDA) as the nodal agency. Urban Infrastructure Management Services has been selected through an open tender as the Project Management Consultant (PMC).
