He is also related to me, claimed Darlhinglien.
After the swelling subsided following the consumption of the plant extract, Chawilien sent samples of the plant extract to his younger sister who is settled in Mizoram, said Darlhinglien and added that since the plant extract had the same healing effect, the Health Minister of Mizoram had even conveyed to him to plant the saplings of the plant there.
The Science and Technology Department of the of Mizoram had also acknowledged the curative properties of the plant extract in March last year, he claimed further.
He however admitted that he has yet to receive any acknowledgement from the Botanical Survey of India.
Darlhinglien said that all should co-operate to save the plant.
