Assam-Mizoram Border Row Typifies the Deep-set Boundary Feuds Between India's Northeastern States

News 18  

Decades of unresolved boundary disputes between India’s northeastern states often lead to ethnic conflicts, and the October 17 flare-up on the Assam-Mizoram border was no exception. In the latest incident, violence erupted over a Covid-19 testing centre set up by Mizoram — within territory claimed by Assam — to sample Mizoram-bound truckers and other people, NDTV reported. A group of youths from Mizoram’s Kolasib district came to Lailapur in southern Assam’s Cachar district and allegedly attacked truck drivers and villagers before setting ablaze shops and houses, locals claimed. According to revenue records of the Assam government, Nagaland encroached upon 19,819.62 hectares of its land, Arunachal Pradesh 5,756.02 hectares and Meghalaya 65.62 hectares since 2001.
