Mizoram has shops without shopkeepers that allow you to takeaway anything

If you wish to see something unique in Mizoram, we won’t recommend any tourist site, but the shops located along the highway of Seling. What makes this highway interesting is the fact that you won’t see any shopkeeper doing the business. Rather, lots of useful things that can be taken away by anyone by putting any amount in a deposit box kept around. So, the concept is based on trust and generosity.

The information about Shop Without Shopkeepers in Mizoram was shared by My Home India, an NGO, on its Twitter page.

Along highway of Seling in Mizoram, many shops without shopkeepers are found without shopkeepers. It is called 'Nghah Lou Dawr Culture Of Mizoram' which means ‘Shop Without Shopkeepers’. You take what you want & keep money in deposit box. These shops work on principle of trust! pic.twitter.com/LbG1J8xN1d
