Mizoram Government Secretary Amit Sharma conducted a day-long visit to Siaha, focusing on digital governance and economic development through tourism.During his visit, Sharma held a series of in-depth meetings with district officials to assess both infrastructure and administrative performance. He was accompanied by H. Vanhlupuia, Deputy Registrar of the Cooperation Department, Lalengzuala, Informatics Officer (ICT), and Lalmuanawma, Database Administrator at MEeGS. The team met with department heads to discuss achievements, work plans, and ongoing challenges in the southern Mizoram district.
