Mizoram Sports and Youth Services Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar on Sunday, February 15, announced a major push to strengthen the state’s sporting infrastructure, declaring that a dedicated indoor volleyball hall has been placed among the government’s top priorities.

Addressing the closing ceremony of the first D-3 Inter-College Volleyball Tournament in Aizawl, Hmar said the government is making “massive efforts” to bolster the sports sector across Mizoram.
