Mizoram govt urges civil society to participate in governance

Aizawl, Mar 9 (UNI) The Mizoram government is actively contemplating to involve civil societies in the policy making process for good governance and decentralise the administration.

Speaking at a Federation of Mizoram Government Employees and Workers Meet here, Chief Secretary Haukhum Hauzel here yesterday emphasised the need for good governance.

Mr Hauzel said, ''We have started the process of involving the civil society by urging them to participate in the framing of government policies, programmes and decentralising power. If required, we will make changes in the rules as well.'' He, however, said, ''Most of the people do not maintain professionalism after they get a "permanent" job but people have to be efficient in work.'' Speaking on the need of working sincerely, the chief secretary urged the government employees to practise punctuality by attending office on time and finish work on time.
