Protests in Mizoram seeking chief election officer's removal
Thousands of people gathered outside Mizoram Chief Election Officer SB Shashank's residence seeking his removal from the post, weeks ahead of the Assembly elections. The protests come over Shashank's complaint against principal secretary (home) Lalnunmawia Chuaungo, who was then sacked, and the alleged proposal to allow Bru refugees from Mizoram to vote at their relief camps in Tripura.
