The meeting, held in the presence of UK Chakma, IAS, Secretary of the Tourism Department, focused on transformative initiatives such as constructing a Sky-walk, developing trekking routes, establishing an eco-park, promoting Thaidawr Tlâng (Betlingchhip) as a nature reserve, and redeveloping the Tlaksih paragliding site.

Tripura Minister Sushanta Chowdhury commended the leaders for their proactive vision and invited them to visit his office after Christmas for a detailed discussion on the feasibility and execution of the proposed projects. The Mizo leaders welcomed the invitation, expressing optimism about the future of tourism in Jampui Hill.
