These townships are: Mindat, Kanpetlet, Matupi, Falan, Htantalan, Tunzan, Teedim and Hakha.

Mindat Lower House MP U Hone Naing, a member of CRCH said: “There are nine townships in Chin State. The organizations have been formed in eight townships. The remaining township is Paletwa in southern Chin State.”

The public governance organizations cover elected lawmakers, town-elders, civil servants who joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), youth and other supporters.

 

The township public governance organizations will be held accountable to ward and village public governance organizations and make cooperation among them. Public security, community peace and tranquility and judicial matters will be decided in accordance with Chin Act and Chin custom.
