==History==
Lammual was started in the 1920s due to lack of level ground in Mizoram for troops to practice and it was decided to flatten a knoll to create a Parade ground. It took 5 years of Military labor under Loch's battalion to complete the ground. The cost of leveling the ground at that time was Rs 1,200. When the work was completed, the parade ground had a sheer cliff of 60 feet on side and 150 feet of filling in on the other. The cliff face of this field.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Pachuau |first1=Joy |title=The Camera as a witness |publisher=Cambridge |isbn=9781107073395 |pages=134–135}}</ref>
