After a lull of a few months, border tension between Assam and Mizoram has erupted once again, with police personnel from both the states clashing over a piece of land. Assam had recently dismantled makeshift huts which it claimed were encroaching forest land inside its territory in Dholaikhal area of Hailakandi district bordering Mizoram's Kolashib. Mizoram officials have now claimed the huts were part of a police camp and were well within its territory.
