Deputy CM denies encroachment
Mizoram Deputy Chief Minister Tawnluia on Thursday said his government was ready to face any lawsuit over claims that it had encroached on neighbour Assam’s territory. The Deputy Chief Minister’s remarks came as a rebuttal to the “encroachment” charge levelled by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday, who said his government would move the Supreme Court over the issue. Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Mr. Tawnluia denied any encroachment by Mizoram on the neighbouring State’s territory. “We are ready and well prepared to be tried in a law court. We have valid documents to substantiate our stand,” he said.More Related News
