Union Minister Bhagirath Choudhary has called for enhanced road and railway infrastructure in Mizoram to drive development in the region's tourism and agriculture sectors. During his visit to the northeastern state, the Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare noted Mizoram's significant potential for organic farming and wealth of natural resources.
