Delegates of the Mizo Students Union (MSU), in its general conference, decided to ask the Mizoram government to take steps to ensure that the entire state be made scheduled (tribal) area again.
The MSU general conference held in Mizoram-Manipur border Darlawn village adopted the resolution last evening where several delegates stressed the need to make the entire Mizoram a scheduled area again for safeguard and protection of the natives of the state.
As of now, scheduled areas in the state comprised only of the Mara, Lai and Chakma autonomous district council areas in soth Mizoram's Saiha and Lawngtlai districts.
The MSU also adopted a resolution seeking amendment to the Indian Constitution on the lists of Mizo tribes.

Leaders of the MSU felt that the present list of the Mizo tribes had become a hurdle for the unity and integrity of the Mizo ethnic groups.
