Fragile peace between Assam and Mizoram in inter-State boundary dispute

The Hindu  

THE long-drawn-out dispute over the demarcation of the inter-State boundary between Assam and Mizoram reached a flashpoint on July 26 when the Mizoram Police opened fire killing six Assam Police personnel and injuring about 50 police officials and personnel. At a meeting convened by Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla in New Delhi on July 28, the Chief Secretaries of Assam and Mizoram had a prolonged discussion on the withdrawal of police forces and agreed to the deployment of Central Armed Police Forces along National Highway 306 and resolution of the boundary dispute through mutual dialogue. Assam’s allegation The Assam government alleged that Mizoram started constructing a road towards Rengti Basti in Assam “in another breach of existing agreements and the existing status quo” and “destroying the Inner Line Reserve Forest at Lailapur area”. The aggressive behaviour and posture of this mob along with the fact that they were brandishing weapons and wearing helmets is clearly seen in all available video footage.” Mizoram’s allegation The Mizoram Home Minister, in a statement on July 26, alleged: “Around 200 Assam armed police led by the IGP, Assam Police, accompanied by DC Cachar, SP Cachar, and DFO Cachar, came to Vairengte autorickshaw stand at around 11:30 a.m. today, i.e., 26.07.2021. It all started with the Assam Police aggression into the duty camps of the CRPF and the Mizoram Police near the Vairengte autorickshaw stand.” Protracted problem Two colonial era notifications are at the root of the boundary dispute between the two States.
