YMA heads to Myanmar to distribute relief among flood hit

Aizawl, Feb 24: A team of central committee of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) led by its President Lalbiakzuala left the state this morning to distribute relief materials among flood-affected people in neighbouring Myanmar's Halkha area.

A YMA spokesman said the delegation would distribute around Rs 32 lakh among 920 families in Halkha area ravaged by flood last year.

The YMA collected more than Rs one crore from people across Mizoram for aid to the victims of massive flood that caused massive destruction to the Mizo-inhabited area in Myanmar.

The first phase of relief was already handed over to the people residing in other areas of Myanmar last year.
