Imphal, 29 September 2016 ( Evening News ) : Mizoram government will continue to hold peace talks with the Manipur-based terror outfit -- Hmar People's Convention-Democratic, HPC-D. Mizoram Home Department Additional Secretary yesterday informed media that the second round of talks is scheduled for October 5. The first round of talks between the government and the HPC-D was held on August 10. The negotiations between the state government and the HPC-D reached a standoff in 2013 on the issue of extension of the period of suspension of operations. After the talks broke down previously over suspension of operations against the terror group, a host of leaders of the outfit were arrested. The Manipur based militant outfit of the Hmar tribals has been triggering violent activities in Mizoram since 1994 demanding a separate autonomous district council under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution by carving out areas adjoining southern Manipur, northern Mizoram and southern Assam. Mizoram is the first and only state in India which received Rs 182.45 crore from the central government in 2000-01 as "Peace Bonus" for keeping peace after decades of insurgency.
