Indian states Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram lack fundamental facilities

Islamabad: Decades after being declared states, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram remain a development wasteland.

According to Kashmir Media Service, basic facilities like roads, electricity, and healthcare are non-existent in many areas of these states. The government’s apathy has left locals trapped in backwardness while the rest of India races ahead.

Even after 38 years, Arunachal’s road network is a joke. Border districts remain cut off, and locals endure unimaginable struggles just to access hospitals and markets. Promises of infrastructure development have been nothing but hollow rhetoric.

Arunachal’s women are forgotten by the system whereas Arunachal Pradesh has the worst gender literacy gap in Northeast India, a glaring testament to the Indian government’s indifference. Decades of neglect have deprived women of education, opportunities, and empowerment.

With the Mizoram border fence, the New Delhi government is Bulldozing Mizo Identity. The government’s border fencing along the Mizoram-Myanmar boundary is an assault on the cultural and kinship ties of Mizo tribes. People are being disconnected from their own kin, all in the name of “security.”

Healthcare crisis indicates Mizoram’s death sentence by neglect as Mizoram’s healthcare system is a disaster. Underfunded hospitals, lack of specialists, and zero urgency from the central government have left the state dependent on neighboring Assam for basic care.

Religious discrimination is so noticeable that BJP’s welfare schemes sideline Mizoram.

Mizoram, with its predominantly Christian population, has been marginalized under BJP’s Hindutva-driven policies. Welfare schemes that benefit other states conveniently skip this hill state.

The border districts of Arunachal and Mizoram remain isolated and abandoned. Lack of roads, power, and communication infrastructure prove how little the government cares about the strategic northeast.

Rising separatist sentiments in Assam and Mizoram aren’t baseless, they’re born from decades of discrimination and neglect. When people are treated like outsiders in their own land, anger is inevitable.

The Northeast is a tourism goldmine, but poor connectivity and lack of infrastructure keep it from flourishing. Government inaction has robbed the region of significant economic opportunities.

The developmental neglect of Arunachal, Mizoram, and other Northeast states is a national shame.
