Lawngtlai, April 29, 2026:The 54th LADC Day 2026 was celebrated with great enthusiasm today at 11:30 AM in the LADC Hall. The programme was attended by LADC leaders, community leaders, and officials and staff under the Council.
The programme was chaired by Pu K. Lalthanzara, Executive Secretary, LADC. Rev. H. Lalhmangaiha (LIKBK Chandmary) led the devotional service, followed by a joint prayer session for the welfare of the land and the people. Prayers were offered in thanksgiving for the autonomy enjoyed under the District Council, for continued progress and development of LADC, for the preservation and growth of the Lai community, for unity among Lai people across different regions, and for sincerity and dedication among Council employees in their service.
In his address, Chief Executive Member Pu C. Lalsawmzuala expressed concern over negative portrayals of Autonomous District Councils on social media. He highlighted the significance of having the LADC, noting that it provides employment opportunities and enables the preservation of traditional values and governance systems through elected leadership. He emphasized that while many communities have had to struggle and sacrifice greatly to achieve self-governance, the Lai people are fortunate. He urged Council employees to view their work not merely as a source of livelihood, but as service to the land, the people, and God. He further called for renewed awareness of individual responsibility in contributing to the progress of the community, stressing the need for greater dedication and commitment in carrying out their duties. He also remarked that the future of the Lai people lies in their own hands and encouraged all to take ownership of their roles with sincerity and diligence.
Pu C. Lalmuanthanga, Chairman, LADC, and Pu Sanghuliana Mualchin, Deputy Chief Executive Member, also delivered important speeches on the functioning and progress of the Council.
The programme featured performances by the LIKBK Assembly Choir, as well as soulful solo presentations by Vanlalzawmpuii Hrahsel and Lalduhsaki. A presentation ceremony was conducted by Joseph Lalhmingthanga.
On the occasion of LADC Day, development works initiated under the leadership of CEM Pu C. Lalsawmzuala within Lawngtlai town were highlighted.
