At Hnahthial town of Lunglei on Sunday, a six-year-old Mizo girl was lured to the jungle from the church lawn where she was playing with her friends, by Lalthanzauva, aged 40, and raped.
Interim budget: The Mizoram government will present a truncated interim budget in its Legislative Assembly session on March 20, for four months only, from April this year.

Assembly secretary Ngurthanzuala said state finance minister H. Liansailova would seek a vote-on-account budget for four months only.
