Photo: PTIAizawl: Mizoram had become the third power- surplus state in the north-east after Sikkim and Tripura, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday. With the commissioning of the project, Mizoram became the third power-surplus state in the north-east, he added. The hydropower project would produce “251 million units” of electrical energy every year and boost the economic development of the state, Modi said. The Tuirial project, which was announced and cleared in 1998 by the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, was the first major central project to be successfully commissioned in Mizoram, the prime minister said.
