The sources said that the committee officially named as the 'Peace Accord Review Committee' would be chaired by Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla in which Home Minister R. Lalzirliana would be Vice Chairman and former Minister Lalrinmawia Ralte, Member Secretary.

Though the terms of reference was not included in the order for constitution of the Committee issued on May two last, the committee was likely to look into the provisions of the historic Mizo Accord which were yet to be implemented by the centre and the state government.
The Mizo Accord was signed after 20 years of insurgency in Mizoram and the state became one of the most peaceful states in the country.
