"Allow Trucks To Enter": Mizoram Writes To Assam, Assures Drivers' Safety
NDTV
Mizoram has assured the safety of drivers and other passengers coming from Assam.
The Mizoram government has written to authorities in Assam asking them to allow the entry of trucks stranded at the border between the two states since last week's border flare-up. The northeastern state has assured the safety of the drivers of the vehicles entering its territory. The state has also complained to Union Home Minister Amit Shah saying Assam was not allowing supplies of Covid medicines, test kits, and other equipment into Mizoram. Assam had last week issued a travel advisory to its people against entering the neighbouring state after violence erupted in border areas over an old boundary dispute. Landlocked Mizoram depends a lot on supplies of essential items from neighbouring states, especially Assam. It is now airlifting the supplies it needs.More Related News
