Mizoram government would recruit a special unarmed police squad to tackle law and order problems in the state, an official statement of the state police department today said.
The statement said that 20 unarmed policemen above six feet in height would be recruited in October.
"If 20 people above six feet cannot be found, men above 5 feet and 10 inches might also be eligible to apply," the statement said.
The recruited policemen would be deployed in the capital town and also outside if the situation warranted, the statement added.
