Mizoram lauds TN ambulance men who drove 3K km to bring body home

In videos posted online by Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga, as the ambulance makes its way through, people can be seen clapping and cheering the ambulance drivers. A second video shows the ambulance parked outside some houses as dozens of people clap in thanks and appreciation.

“This is how Mizoram welcomes the(se) real life heroes! Because we believe in humanity and nationality,” Chief Minister Zoramthanga tweeted, adding, “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You’ve just shown what every Mizo heartbeat means when it comes to the term “Tlawmngaihna” (a Mizo term roughly translated as being kind and helpful to others).“Three thousand plus miles of hardship and struggles won’t dampen the spirit of resting the tragic earthly remains of Vivian Lalremsanga by his friend AVL Malchhanhima and Jeyantjiran and Chinnathambi,” he added in another tweet.

Vivian Lalremsanga, 28, who was an employee of a private company, died in Chennai on April 23.
