Representatives of the Mizoram government and the Hmar People's Convention (Democratic) militants will hold the second round of peace talks in Aizawl on October 5, Additional Secretary for the state home department Lalbiakzama today said.
Lalbiakzama told PTI that some of the six-member HPC(D) delegation led by Lalthalien were expected to arrive in Aizawl on Tuesday next.
The second round of parleys scheduled to be held in mid-September was deferred as the government delegation members were having tight schedules due to Bru repatriation issues.
