In what is being celebrated as a historic and transformative milestone, the northeastern state of Mizoram has officially been declared completely free of insurgency. This remarkable development comes after the region's last remaining ethnic militant group chose the path of peace. According to regional reports covering the state's transition, on April 30, 2026, exactly 43 active cadres belonging to the Lalhmingthanga Sanate faction of the Hmar People’s Convention (Democratic)—widely known as the HPC(D)—formally surrendered their weapons.
