'Sour' grapes to turn sweet for Mizo farmers soon
Aizawl, Jul 8 : Grape growers in Hnahlan and Champhai in eastern Mizoram would soon see the people of the state quench their thirst with the 'fruits of their labour'.
Wine produced from this grapes will be available hopefully by September this year in Mizoram which has been under a dry law for 13 long years.
Earlier, the Mizoram Liquor Total Prohibition Act, imposed in the state on February 20, 1997, prevented the grapes from large-scale commercialisation even as the premium variety of Lubrusca grapes are most suitable for producing high quality and commercially viable wine. The Act was amended in April 2007, allowing the grapes to be processed into wine, containing 16 per cent alcohol. The grape wine will be branded as ''Zawlaidi'' which means love potion in Mizo language.
The grape cultivators had formed Grape Growers Society with district horticulture officer of Khawzawl as its managing director.
Two wineries had been set up by the society with logistical support from the government.
Vanlalruata Chenkual, managing director of the Grape Growers Society and Khawzal DHO has said each winery had the capacity of fermenting one lakh 650 ml bottles. The wine bottle would be labelled ''Not for sale outside Mizoram'', as it is expected that marketing the grape wine in the local market would be more profitable than exporting it.
The winemaking process will be monitored by experts from liquor major Shaw Wallace.
''To make the wine competitive and conform to international standards, experts from Shaw Wallace will train and guide the winemakers,'' Horticulture Director Samuel Rosanglura has said.
According to the sources, Hnahlan is expected to produce 8000 bottles of wine and Champhai 12,000 bottles. One bottle would be sold for Rs 150. Champhai Grape Growers Society has 325 families engaged in grape cultivation and harvested 478.5 quintals of grapes during FY10 and they expect to harvest 2,056 quintals during FY11. Hnahlan Grape Growers Society has 670 families of cultivators and their annual harvest during 2009-10 was 6916 quintals and expected 7910 quintals this year.
The grape cultivators believe that with its suitable climate and soil conditions, the region has the potential of becoming the largest grape producer in the country.

Rail services to Tripura, Mizoram disrupted
Silchar (Assam), June 10 (IANS) Rail services to parts of Assam, Tripura and Mizoram have been suspended after damage to an old rail bridge in southern Assam, officials said Thursday.
“After sudden increase of water in a tributary of Jatinga river, a girder of an old bridge was washed away Wednesday night causing the railway bridge to slant,” Northeast Frontier Railway spokesman Subrata Hajong told reporters.
Senior railway officials and engineers have rushed to the spot, 300 km south of Assam’s main city, Guwahati.
A goods train running between Badarpur to Lumding in southern Assam was also stranded after the damage to the bridge.
“Work has been started to repair the railway bridge. We can not confirm when the railway services would be restored in this region,” Hajong added.
The meter gauge railway line passes through the North Cachar area of southern Assam, connecting Agartala and Bairabi in northern Mizoram besides several districts of southern Assam with the rest of the country.
In June 2007, eight people were killed and 15 others injured when seven wagons and the two engines of a goods train jumped the rail and fell into a flooded Jatinga river following the collapse of a 114-year-old railway bridge in the same region.
The accident had led to suspension of railway services in the region for more than four months.

Mizoram to open New Trading Center
Aizawl, April 17 : The Mizoram government will open its second international trade centre near Tlabung on the Indo-Bangla border to boost bilateral trade.
This trade centre, built at the cost of Rs 27 crore, will help curb smuggling along the border with Bangladesh.
Mizoram director of trade and commerce Laltharmawia today said the final project report for setting up this trade centre would soon be sent to Delhi seeking the Centre’s approval and funds.
The director said in order to monitor the trade transactions in Tlabung, an integrated checkpost under the government’s land customs department would be set up.
Tlabung, a town on the bank of Karnafuli river on Mizoram’s southern flank, is 332km from Aizawl along the Silchar-Aizawl-Lunglei National Highway 54.
Laltharmawia also said the whole project and its ancillaries like customs office, an immigration centre, banks, post and telephone complexes and the accommodation for police and BSF would be built in three years.
Mizoram’s first international trade centre at Zokhawthang near the district headquarters town of Champhai on the state’s northeast border with Myanmar and 208km from Aizawl is expected to be inaugurated in May or June by Union commerce minister Anand Sharma.
The construction of the trade centre in Zokhawthang began in 2002 and was completed early this year at a cost of Rs 9 crore.
The delay in setting up this centre was attributed to the slow pace of construction and delay in the periodic grant of the sanctioned amount by Delhi.
The total cost of the project shot up from Rs 5 crore when it was envisaged to Rs 9 crore at its final stages because of the delay.
The Mizoram government said to facilitate a wide ranging and no-restriction border trade, a minimum customs tariff would be imposed by both the Indian and Bangladesh governments on their respective goods intended for the cross-country entry.
While such goods as ginger, orange, squash and bamboo from Mizoram will find their way into Bangladesh, goods like melamine products, cotton textiles and fish will be imported from the neighbouring country.

This trade centre, built at the cost of Rs 27 crore, will help curb smuggling along the border with Bangladesh.
Mizoram director of trade and commerce Laltharmawia today said the final project report for setting up this trade centre would soon be sent to Delhi seeking the Centre’s approval and funds.
The director said in order to monitor the trade transactions in Tlabung, an integrated checkpost under the government’s land customs department would be set up.
Tlabung, a town on the bank of Karnafuli river on Mizoram’s southern flank, is 332km from Aizawl along the Silchar-Aizawl-Lunglei National Highway 54.
Laltharmawia also said the whole project and its ancillaries like customs office, an immigration centre, banks, post and telephone complexes and the accommodation for police and BSF would be built in three years.
Mizoram’s first international trade centre at Zokhawthang near the district headquarters town of Champhai on the state’s northeast border with Myanmar and 208km from Aizawl is expected to be inaugurated in May or June by Union commerce minister Anand Sharma.
The construction of the trade centre in Zokhawthang began in 2002 and was completed early this year at a cost of Rs 9 crore.
The delay in setting up this centre was attributed to the slow pace of construction and delay in the periodic grant of the sanctioned amount by Delhi.
The total cost of the project shot up from Rs 5 crore when it was envisaged to Rs 9 crore at its final stages because of the delay.
The Mizoram government said to facilitate a wide ranging and no-restriction border trade, a minimum customs tariff would be imposed by both the Indian and Bangladesh governments on their respective goods intended for the cross-country entry.
While such goods as ginger, orange, squash and bamboo from Mizoram will find their way into Bangladesh, goods like melamine products, cotton textiles and fish will be imported from the neighbouring country.
