Mizoram govt-run lodge in Aizawl to get 'five-star' makeover

The Mizoram government has announced plans to transform the state-run tourist lodge in Chaltlang, Aizawl into a five-star hotel. 

This was announced by Tourism Minister Lalrinpuii during the assembly session on Friday.

The Chaltlang tourist lodge, one of the finest government-owned lodges in the state, will be given to private agencies, she said.

The government decided to privatise the lodge to ensure that Mizoram has a well-furnished and well-equipped hotel, she added.

In November last year, Lalrinpuii said that the state is in dire need of five-star hotels to host international and national events.

A tender will soon be floated to hand over the Chaltlang tourist lodge to private agencies for turning it into a five-star hotel, officials said.
