Mizoram Refuses To Withdraw Forces From Assam, Highway Blocked For Third Day | Read
A week after a supposed breakthrough, a festering Mizoram-Assam boundary row worsened today, intensifying blockades and protests along the border between the two northeastern states. Mizoram Home Minister Lalchamliana today said there will be no withdrawal the state's forces from its border with Assam till normalcy returns. Protestors in Assam have, meanwhile, blocked National Highway 306, Mizoram's lifeline for essential commodities. Sources in the Mizoram government have said they are in talks to work out an alternative route to bring in essentials through Manipur.
