'Remna Ni' or Peace Day was
observed in Mizoram today even as the state government, which declared the day every year as a public holiday, did not organise any function.
The 39 Assam Rifles, under the aegis of the Headquarters 23 Sector Assam Rifles, celebrated the day by organising free clinic, anti-drugs campaign and display of weapons and equipment at the Assam Rifles ground in Aizawl.
The Assam Rifles, in a press statement congratulated the people of Mizoram for the hard-earned peace which brought tranquillity and peaceful atmosphere in the state for the past 28 years.
The opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) also organised functions in all district headquarters and towns to commemorate the signing of the peace accord 28 years ago.
The erstwhile underground MNF then led by the late Laldenga signed the historic Mizo accord on June 30, 1986 in Delhi bringing peace in the state after 20 years of secessionist movement.
