Fifth Schedule status
Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area
Article 244(1) applies the Fifth Schedule in every State other than Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, so no part of Mizoram is a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area and PESA does not apply here. A different protection does: this district lies within the Mara Autonomous District Council, under the Sixth Schedule (Articles 244(2) and 275(1)), which has its own consent and land-transfer safeguards.

What the record shows
Half or more of the people counted here in 2011 were Scheduled Tribe: 96.6%, against 8.55% nationally.
