The Mizoram government has tightened security along inter-state borders to prevent possible influx from Assam following a series of eviction drives in the neighbouring state, a senior police officer said on Wednesday.
According to Mizoram Inspector General of Police (Law & Order and Headquarters) H. Ramthlengliana, all police stations and outposts along the state’s border with Assam have been put on high alert in response to the state’s ongoing campaign to deport foreign nationals and illegal encroachers.
He said additional police personnel have been deployed at key entry points such as Vairengte, Saiphai, and Saihapui V villages in Kolasib district, located near the Assam border.
