He said Lalnunsanga’s achievement at the national stage is a matter of great pride for the state.

The Minister also appreciated the leadership of the Mizoram MotorSports Association (MIMSA), stating that their dedication is commendable. He noted that motorsports is an expensive discipline, and despite budgetary constraints faced by the Mizoram State Sports Council, the association’s leaders continue to work tirelessly and deserve high praise.

Emphasising the need for further progress in sports, Pu Lalnghinglova Hmar said that Mizoram has begun achieving notable success across various sporting disciplines, which is encouraging. However, he added that there is still a long way to go and higher goals must be pursued. He said that athletes who achieve such success also realise the importance of further improvement and continued training.

Dr. Lalhmuchhuaka, Vice President of the Mizoram State Sports Council, also spoke on the occasion. He stressed that leaders of sports associations should focus not on personal gain, but on guiding, supporting, and nurturing athletes so that they can achieve success and excellence.

During the event, Lalnunsanga shared his experiences from the championship and spoke about the challenges he faced during the competition. Representatives from MIMSA also expressed their gratitude to the Sports Minister for his encouragement, support, and concern for the development of motorsports in the state.
