Mizoram celebrates Christmas

Christmas was today celebrated with religious fervour and merry making in the Christian-majority state of Mizoram.

The day was marked by prayer services across local churches. Special congregations took place for singing Christmas songs.

The customary community feasts would be organised in Aizawl city and all the villages tomorrow instead of today.

Unlike the rest of the country, no official function to observe Good Governance Day was organised today being Christmas Day.

Both Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee (MKHC) or conglomerate of leaders of 14 major churches and major NGOs had objected to the government's earlier decision to observe Good Governance Day on Christmas Day.
 

Aizawl District SP Lalhuliana Fanai said that Christmas was celebrated peacefully without any untoward incident.

"No drunkards created problems on the streets and road accidents were also minimal," Fanai said.
