State Symbols

A government order issued on 10 September provides that only the first two stanzas of the National Song be sung at State functions, while all six stanzas will be played at functions attended by the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister or Governor. The order acknowledges the song’s role in instilling nationalism.

The Mizoram Assembly unanimously adopted the Mizo patriotic song “Ro Min Rel Sak Ang Che” as the official State song on 27 August. Chief Minister Lalduhoma moved the resolution.
