Six jawans killed, says Assam CM; Mizoram CM says needless injuries could’ve been avoided

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that six jawans have died in clashes with the neighbouring state of Mizoram. Meanwhile, Mizoram CM Zoramthanga said needless injuries could have been avoided.

Six jawans of the Assam Police died while 'defending the constitutional boundary' of the state, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Monday. The statement comes at a time when fresh violence has broken out in Assam's Cachar district following a border dispute between Assam and Mizoram. I am deeply pained to inform that six brave jawans of @assampolice have sacrificed their lives while defending constitutional boundary of our state at the Assam-Mizoram border. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. Sources in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) said that CRPF troops are on the ground in Cachar district.
