Guwahati: Amid the ongoing attempts by the Central government to resolve the border dispute between Assam and Mizoram, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday accused the Mizoram government of arming its civilians with weapons and ammunitions for two months.
Asserting it was for the first time that the Assam police has succeeded in retrieving its land encroached by Mizoram since November 2020, the chief minister told reporters a contingent of 300 security personnel led by IGP Anurag Agarwal had been deployed in all five disputed sectors of the Assam-Mizoram border.
