Hnahthial district is one of the eleven districts of Mizoram state in India. The creation of Hnahthial District was first notified on 12th September, 2008 but until 2020, it remained non-functional despite a number of promises made by top political leaders and an all-out effort by Hnahthial District Function Demand Committee to let the state government make it functional. Hnahthial district was made functional only 12 years later on 3rd June, 2019 with the creation of the office of the Deputy Commissioner.
