The ministers led by Mr. Ngai met local people, town elders and government employees in Kam Hau Hall in Tedim town. They discussed the policy of the new Chin state government and local development issues, said a local resident.

Local people brought up the subject of development of the state in different sectors including health and education for the new government’s consideration. The ministers wanted the support of local NGOs.

Surprisingly, the PM quoted from the Bible chapter 13, verse 1 in the meeting hall and said “Everyone must obey the state authorities, because no authority exists without God's permission, and the existing authorities have been put there by God," adding that all nationals should pray for others for unity and work for the cause.
