The development follows an announcement made by Dg. Nirupam Chakma, Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) on 9 July, 2026, the day he assumed office as the Chief of the Council. During a congratulatory phone conversation, Pi Lalrinpuii, Mizoram's Minister for Health & Family Welfare, informed the CEM that the Government of Mizoram had transferred and posted a new doctor to Borapansury PHC and Longpuight PHC.
The announcement has been welcomed with great enthusiasm by the people of Borapansury and the surrounding villages. Residents, Village Councils, Young Chakma Association (YCA), Mizoram Chakma Students' Union (MCSU) and Chakma Mahila Samiti (CMS) among others, have come together to clean the hospital premises and improve the campus in preparation for the doctor's joining.
Borapansury PHC had remained largely non-functional for several years following the termination of its previous health staff, leaving the local population without regular primary healthcare services. The posting of a new doctor is therefore being viewed as a significant step towards restoring essential medical services in the area.
Local residents expressed hope that the reopening of the PHC with a full-time doctor would reduce the hardship faced by patients, who have long been compelled to travel considerable distances to access basic healthcare.
The community has also appealed to the Government to ensure adequate medical personnel, essential medicines and necessary infrastructure at the PHC so that healthcare services can be restored effectively and sustained for the benefit of the people.
