An indefinite total bandh began in southern Mizoram’s Lai Autonomous District on Tuesday as the Young Lai Association demands better roads and better electricity in the region.

The YLA’s total bandh is to demand better roads from Lunglei district, the main thoroughfare to the Lai district from Mizoram capital Aizawl, and to force the government to re-route a planned new highway through the district’s capital Lawngtlai. The current plans for the road will bypass the town.
