Aizawl: Home minister Amit Shah will visit Mizoram next month to take stock of the proposed relocation of Assam Rifles' base from the heart of Aizawl to Zokhawsang on its outskirts, chief minister Lalduhoma said on Thursday.

He said he had discussed the matter with Shah during his visit to Delhi in June. "A decision to shift Assam Rifles' base from Aizawl to Zokhawsang has been taken already. We are committed to shift the headquarters... I am coming to Aizawl to inspect steps taken towards shifting," Lalduhoma quoted Shah as saying.
