The Young Mizo Association (YMA) today sent 100 quintals of rice to neighbouring Myanmar as an immediate relief for the Mizo victims of massive flood in that country.
The consignment would be taken over at Mizoram-Myanmar border from where it would be transported to flood ravaged areas in Chin Hills and nearby ethnic Mizo inhabited areas, YMA Central Committee President Lalbiakzuala said.
Meanwhile, the YMA, the churches and several NGOs in the state were collecting donations to help the Mizo flood victims in Myanmar and Manipur.
Street mobile charity concerts were organised yesterday and today in Aizawl where well-known singers and musicians performed in aid of the Mizo flood victims in Myanmar and Manipur.
