Chite Lui River (Mizoram)

The Chite Lui River in Mizoram is of great cultural and sentimental value to the people of the state. However, the river is facing pollution and degradation due to unplanned urbanization, encroachments, and businesses located near its banks.

The Chite Lui River originates from the Bawngkawn range in north Aizawl, Mizoram, and flows for approximately 20 km before joining the River Tuirial.

Mizoram’s largest river is Chhimtuipui, originating in Myanmar (Burma). Other significant rivers in Mizoram include Tlawng, Tuirial, and Tuivawl, which flow through the northern territory and ultimately join the Barak River in Assam.
