While Assam blamed "miscreants from Mizoram" for the incident, officials in Mizoram accused "Bangladeshi immigrants who wanted to flare up the border dispute".
Two abandoned houses along the Mizoram-Assam border have been burned down by unidentified people, fuelling tension along the volatile inter-state border, the police said on Sunday. Both the states claimed that the incident took place inside their territory on Friday night but no casualty was reported as the houses were empty. While Assam put the blame on "miscreants from Mizoram", the neighbouring state pointed the accusing finger at "Bangladeshi immigrants who wanted to flare up the border dispute". Hailakandi district Superintendent of Police Ramandeep Kaur claimed that besides burning down the two empty houses belonging to Ali Hussain and Saidul Islam, some people from Mizoram have also erected a structure 300 metres inside Assam's territory near Gutguti area in the district.More Related News
