What happened
In 2024, Mizoram constituted the State Project Monitoring Committee (MSPMC), chaired by Chief Minister Lalduhoma himself, with a singular mandate: ensure government departments implement their projects on time and act on monitoring recommendations. At the MSPMC general body meeting, it emerged that several departments had done precisely the opposite — ignoring recommendations and proceeding at their own pace. The committee has resolved to formally summon the department heads responsible. Mizoram governance has now officially entered recursive territory: the body mandated to enforce departmental compliance is itself forced to escalate against non-compliance with its enforcement. This raises a natural next question — who is monitoring whether the summoned officials actually show up — which the government appears to be working up to.
