“There will be cultural performances and Mizo tribes from Mizoram and other northeastern states will take part in the programme,” the official added.
He further said the Zo Kutpui will also be organised in other Mizo important towns, including Maryland in the USA, Tahan in Myanmar, Churachandpur in Manipur and Bangladesh.
“The event aims at re-unifying and strengthening brotherhood among different tribes of Mizo,” he said.
The Mizo National Front (MNF) government, which preached unification of Mizo communities, has been making a massive effort in this regard.
