Ordinance-making power for Union territory administrators extended; presidential regulation authorised when territorial legislatures are suspended. The reorganisation provisions provide that Mizoram will have a legislature and Council of Ministers and that its Administrator may promulgate ordinances when the legislature is not in session. Presidential power to make Regulations, presently exercisable for the North East Frontier Agency, will continue upon conversion to a Union territory and be available for Mizoram. Where a Union territory legislature is dissolved or suspended, the President's regulation-making authority will enable territorial legislation without exclusive Parliament reliance.
