Northeast Desk, 29th December: In a significant step towards promoting transparency and accountability, the Mizoram government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Lalduhoma, has authorized the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe offenses within the state. CM Lalduhoma shared this decision through a social media post on platform X, underscoring the government’s dedication to eliminating corruption for the benefit of citizens.
The CBI, India’s primary investigative agency, has received approval to conduct investigations into serious offenses in Mizoram. This move aligns with the state’s commitment to maintaining a corruption-free governance system and ensuring thorough scrutiny and resolution of any corruption-related instances.
