Infrastructure

Aizawl's infrastructure is tailored to its mountainous environment. * **Electricity:** Power is distributed by the state's Power and Electricity Department, heavily relying on hydro-electric power generated within the state and supplemented by the national grid. * **Water Supply:** Managed by the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), water is pumped up from the Tlawng River. Due to the difficulty of pumping water up steep elevations, many households heavily rely on sophisticated rainwater harvesting systems. * **Telecommunications:** 4G and broadband internet are widely available, provided by major national carriers like Jio, Airtel, and BSNL. * **Sanitation:** The AMC manages solid waste through a fleet of collection trucks. Centralized sewage is limited due to the terrain; most residential buildings utilize private septic tanks.
