The Aizawl Bench of the Gauhati High Court directed the Mizoram government to temporarily halt the felling of trees in Aizawl’s Lammual area, which the Assam Rifles vacated. Hearing a PIL, a division bench comprising Justice Michael Zothankhuma and Justice Kaushik Goswami took note of recent media reports that indicated 174 of 400 trees on the site are being felled to make way for development projects. Many of these trees are believed to be over a century old, the court said on Monday (April 20, 2026).
