Arunachal Pradesh statehood day

Arunachal Pradesh was earlier known as North East Frontier Agency (NEFA). It was renamed Arunachal Pradesh in 1972 and granted a Union Territory status. Earlier, the state was a part of Assam, and after it became a UT, its administration was entrusted in the hands of a chief commissioner. With the passing of the Constitution 55th Amendment Act, Arunachal Pradesh finally became a state.
Mizoram’s statehood came after a bloody period of insurgency. Separatists groups had demanded independence from India in the 1960s. Mizo National Front (MNF) took to armed rebellion to realise this demand. The Indian government resorted to bombing parts of the state in retaliation. In 1986, Mizoram Peace Accord was signed between India and MNF. Mizoram was granted statehood on February 20, 1987, as per Statehood Act of 1986 and Mizoram became the 23rd state of the Indian Union.
