AIZAWL, Feb. 21 - More than Rs 6.85 lakh has been collected in Mizoram to help the Christians affected by the communal riot in Orissa during December-end and early January.
Sources in the committee formed to collect donations for Christians in Orissa said on Wednesday that the fund would be utilised in rebuilding houses damaged during the violence.
They claimed that some Christians were not only tortured and rendered homeless, but were killed by fanatics during Christmas festivities.
They also alleged that the state government and the Centre did not do anything to ensure security of the Christian community while state police remained mute spectators to the violence.
