Between 3 pm to 7 am on New Year’s Day, Aizawl hospitals recorded five fatalities, while 36 babies were born during the same period.
Meanwhile, the city’s hospitals treated several cases linked to New Year celebrations. The Civil Hospital reported 11 accident-related admissions, including four individuals with fractures.
As Aizawl residents bid farewell to 2024 and welcomed 2025, law enforcement faced a relatively eventful night. Police detained 21 individuals at four stations across Mizoram, with 12 cases (57.14%) linked to drunkenness, including one for driving under the influence. However, six police stations across the state reported no arrests or detentions during the celebrations.
