Kamalanagar, 16 June 2025: The Chakma Autonomous District Council, in a Special Session held today at the CADC Session Hall, Kamalanagar, passed a No-Confidence Motion against the incumbent Executive Committee led by the Chief Executive Member, Shri Molin Kumar Chakma. The session was presided over by the Chairman of the Council, Shri Lakkhan Chakma.
The motion was moved by Zoram Peopleโs Movement (ZPM) member and elected MDC from 15-Rengkashya Constituency, Shri Doymoy Daveng Chakma, citing the CEMโs loss of the confidence of the majority members of the House as the reason necessitating a change in leadership.
The motion was subsequently taken up for discussion, during which several members participated, and was then put to vote. Out of the 17 elected members present and voting, 15 voted in favour of the motion, 1 voted against it, and the lone MNF MDC, Shri Rasik Mohan Chakma, abstained from voting. With the motion receiving a clear majority, it was declared passed. The Special Session was thereafter declared prorogued.
Kamalanagar, 15 May, 2025: A delegation of the Chakma Autonomous District Council, led by Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma, Chief Executive Member, called on the Honโble Governor of Mizoram, General (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Singh, at Raj Bhavan yesterday, seeking intervention on critical issues pertaining to the Council.
The delegation included Dg. Lakkhan Chakma, Chairman; Dg. Sanjib Chakma, Executive Member; and Dg. Durjya Dhan Chakma, former CEM and District BJP President. They were accompanied by the State BJP President, Pu Vanlalhmuaka.
During the meeting, they apprised the Governor of a serious financial crisis caused by a continued shortfall in salary fund allocation. Despite recommendations of the 2nd Mizoram State Finance Commission, which proposed that CADC receive 25.04% of the total share earmarked for Autonomous District Councils, actual allocations have consistently fallen short. This has resulted in a salary deficit since December last year. It was further clarified that the staff strength of CADC (1,429) remains lower than that of MADC (1,789) and LADC (1,927), refuting the perception of overstaffing.
Concern was also raised over the exclusion of 33 development proposals submitted by CADC last year from the State Governmentโs priority list. These proposals, aimed at improving essential sectors such as education, roads, and public utilities, have not been forwarded to the concerned Central Ministries under schemes like the 16th Finance Commission, NESIDS, PMJVK, and Article 275(1). It was further pointed out that CADC continues to lag behind in overall development, with a literacy rate of only 46.4%, compared to the state average of over 91.58%.
The Governor was also briefed on the pending sanction of โน118.75 crore under the Border Area Development Programme (BADP). The delegation highlighted the plight of border villages in CADC, where residents continue to suffer due to displacement caused by the Indo-Bangla border fencing and long-standing under-development.
Other matters raised included the long-pending assent to several important Bills passed by the District Council, and difficulties faced by residents due to non-functional ATMs and the absence of bank branches at Longpuighat and Borapansury.
The Honโble Governor assured the delegation that the issues raised would be given due attention and taken up with the appropriate authorities.
In the interest of public service, the Executive Committee of Chakma Autonomous District Council is pleased to order transfer and posting of the following Group-“A” Officers as shown below against each of their names with immediate effect and until further order.
In the interest of public service and in pursuance of the decision taken in its meeting of the Executive Committee held on 18/03/2025, the Executive Committee of Chakma Autonomous District Council is pleased to order that the following officers shall hold the charge as shown against each of their names with immediate effect and until further order :-
Kamalanagar, 27th February 2025: Seven newly appointed Executive Members of the 11th Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) took the oath of office today at a swearing-in ceremony held in Kamalanagar. The oath of office and secrecy was administered by Pu H. Zonunmawia, MCS, Project Director, DRDO, Lawngtlai.
The newly sworn-in Executive Members are Dg. Kalasoga Chakma from the 13-Vaseitlang MDC Constituency, Dg. Supan Chakma from the 12-Mainabapsora MDC Constituency, Dg. Montu Chakma from the 19-Devasora (S) MDC Constituency, Dg. Amit Bayan Chakma from the 10-Mondirasora MDC Constituency, Dg. Ananta Bikash Chakma from the 14-Longpuighat MDC Constituency, Dg. Sanjib Chakma from the 2-Borapansury-II MDC Constituency, and Dg. Sanjeev Chakma from the 7-Kamalanagar (W) MDC Constituency.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Executive Member, Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma, reiterated his Executive Committeeโs commitment to the progress and welfare of CADC. He remarked, โToday marks an important milestone as seven of my colleagues take the oath of office together. With their support, I am confident that we will work with complete dedication to accelerate the development of CADC.โ
He further stated, โFor over two decades, we have aspired for a BJP-led government in CADC, believing it would usher in greater progress and opportunities. Now that this vision has materialized, my colleagues in the 11th CADC and I are resolute in our efforts to steer CADC towards growth and prosperity. Our government will uphold the guiding principle of โSabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayasโโensuring inclusive development and shared progress. With unity and support of our people, we will work towards realizing this vision.โ
He also urged all sections of the community to contribute in their own capacities and support the Executive Committee in its endeavor to advance the collective progress of CADC.
The formation of the new Executive Committee of CADC was necessitated following the passage of a no-confidence motion against the former Chief Executive Member, Dg. Rasik Mohan Chakma, on 11th December 2024, during the Winter Session of CADC, leading to the dissolution of the previous Executive Committee. Subsequently, the Honโble Governor of Mizoram appointed Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma as the new Chief Executive Member on 28th January 2025. The new Executive Members were appointed with effect from 17th February 2025. With their swearing-in today, the Executive Committee of CADC is now fully constituted.
Kamalanagar, 26th February 2025: A delegation from the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) led by Honโble Chief Executive Member Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma met with Dr. Arvind Panagariya, Chairman, and other members of the 16th Finance Commission in Aizawl on Monday during its four-day visit to Mizoram. The delegation, which included Honโble MLA Dg. Rasik Mohan Chakma, Senior Finance & Accounts Officer Dg. Buddhangkur Chakma, and Planning & Development Officer Dg. Prabin Chakma, submitted a representation seeking enhanced financial allocation to bridge the infrastructural deficit within CADC.
During the meeting, the delegation gave a detailed presentation on the socio-economic challenges faced by CADC, citing its backwardness including lower literacy rate and inadequate infrastructure. It was pointed out that despite being categorised as an โExcluded Areaโ and outside the purview of Part IX and Part IXA of the Constitution, CADC has been receiving funds under two categoriesโRural Local Body Grants to Village Councils and Excluded Area Grants. However, the delegation emphasized that the inconsistency and irregularity in the Excluded Area Grants have hampered the implementation of major infrastructure projects, particularly those related to administrative development.
The delegation urged the Finance Commission to continue providing Excluded Area Grants on a regular basis to address the infrastructural deficit until corrective legislative measures are undertaken by the Government of India to enhance the financial resources of Autonomous District Councils. It was further emphasised that ADCs and Tribal Areas under the Sixth Schedule should receive special consideration while determining grants under the Central Finance Commission, given their unique socio-economic challenges.
The representation also underscored the need for special financial provisions under Article 275(1) of the Indian Constitution to raise the level of administration in Sixth Schedule Areas. Drawing parallels to the separate treatment accorded to the Sixth Schedule Areas in Assam under clause (a) of Article 275(1), the delegation argued that similar treatment should be extended to ADCs in Mizoram to ensure equitable development. They pointed out that despite the Finance Commissionโs approach of treating ADCs as two tiers Local Body Institutions โwith Autonomous District Council as Zilla Panchayat and Village Councils as Gram panchayatsโCADC has not received any share of grants allocated to Zilla Panchayats during the entire period of the 15th Finance Commission. They also urged the Commission to recommend for additional fund provision for CADC, in addition to the normal grants under the Excluded Area Grants, to address specific problems, as was done under the 13th Finance Commission.
Some of the projects proposed under the 16th Finance Commission include the completion of the New Secretariat Building at Kamalanagar, the construction of the Chief Executive Memberโs Office Building, the establishment of Village Council Court Buildings, construction of Electric Crematorium and an ITI Building, construction of MDC Hostels and Court Buildings, among others.
In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-rule (3) of Rule 22 of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc.) Rules, 2002 as amended from time to time, and as recommended by the Chief Executive Member, the Governor of Mizoram is pleased to appoint the following elected members of the District Council Autonomous District Council as Executive Members of the 11th Chakma Autonomous District Council w.e.f. 17.02.2025 i.e. the date of approval of the Governor of Mizoram.
