He said the Assam government would revoke its travel advisory and take steps for resumption of traffic movement between the two neighbouring states. Mizoram has been cut off from rest of the country due to the alleged economic blockade in Assam?s Barak Valley region after the violent clash on July 26, disrupting all supplies to the hilly state. Meanwhile, a joint statement signed by the state representatives said that both state governments have agreed to take all necessary measures to promote, preserve and maintain peace and harmony among people living in Assam and Mizoram, particularly those living along the border.
With great optimism from both sides, we held our discussion with the Home Minister of Mizoram @Lalchamliana12 Ji & other officials on resolving the #AssamMizoramBorder issue.
