Mizoram lokayukta by February 28, says minister

Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla is likely to convene a meeting of the council of ministers soon to establish Lokayukta in the state, Law Minister Lalsawta said today.

The minister said he did not see any reason why the state government would not be able to meet the February 28 deadline set by Congress High Command for establishment of a Lokayukta in the state.

A meeting of Congress High Command and Congress-ruled chief ministers on December 27 has decided that Lokayukta will be established in the Congress-ruled states by February 28, he said.
