Aizawl, Sep 1 Former Mizo National Front (MNF) cadres who came overground after a historic Mizo Accord signed between the Centre and the erstwhile underground outfit in 1986 would be given rehabilitation in the form of giving government jobs soon, official sources said here today.

The General Administration Department recently cleared the proposal for appointment of 70 former MNF cadres or their qualified family members in the government service, they said.

The appointments would be - two assistants, four upper division clerks, 18 lower division clerks and 46 grade VI employees, the sources said.

Only personal interviews would be undertaken by the applicants, but they have to have requisite educational qualification for the respective posts, the sources added.

Out of the 578 members of the MNF who came overground, some of them had been inducted in the government services at the initial stage besides receiving money for rehabilitation and resettlement and many of them had successful political career in the overground life including former two-term Chief Minister Zoramthanga and his cabinet colleagues.

The Mizo Accord, signed on June 30, 1986 was the most successful accord signed by the Centre with underground organisations ushering peace in Mizoram after being a disturbed state for 20 years.
