Mizoram has avoided overdraft since Dec 2023, says CM Lalduhoma

Aizawl, Jan 12 (UNI) Chief Minister Lalduhoma on Monday said Mizoram has not faced an overdraft situation since December 2023, crediting sustained fiscal discipline and early corrective measures taken soon after his government assumed office.
Addressing the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM)’s first internal party session for 2026 at the party office, the Chief Minister said that during the seven days at the end of December 2023, the government worked tirelessly to stabilise the state’s finances. “Since then, and up to today, the state has not slipped into overdraft,” he said.
The Chief Minister also said that the government had cleared committed liabilities amounting to Rs 6,311 lakh over the past two years, describing these as old outstanding dues inherited from the past. However, he added that liabilities amounting to Rs 7,646 lakh are still pending and need to be cleared.
