Assam Says Will Accept Centre's Solution In Northeast Border Row

An Assam government spokesperson stressed that the government has not blocked any roads amid reports claiming that Assam was hindering the movement of vehicles at Barak valley after the July 26 border clash.

Assam wants a permanent peaceful solution, said the state government's spokesperson Pijush Hazarika amid border dispute with Mizoram, adding that the state will welcome Centre's solution. "We want a permanent peaceful settlement. We want that our land remains with us and their land remains with them. The central government should come up with a solution and we will welcome that," he said in an interview with ANI. Mr Hazarika further stressed that the state government has not blocked any roads amid reports claiming that Assam was hindering the movement of vehicles at Barak valley after the border clash on July 26 in which six police personnel died. "Assam government has not blocked any roads. People are emotional and some of them might have done it. We will request them not to indulge in such activities. Both Assam and Mizoram are the states of India and we are brothers," noted the spokesperson.
