c21.93

The southern portion of the hills was at first administered by the Bengal Government and the northern by the Chief Commissioner of Assam, but, on the 1st April, 1898, the two tracts were amalgamated and placed under the Assam Administration. The whole area is now in charge of a single officer, who is styled the Superintendent of the Lushai hills. The internal management of the villages is left to the chiefs subject to the general control of the Superintendent and his Assistants, in whom the administration of civil and criminal justice is vested.
