Assam, Mizoram to increase border fencing

Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga said on Thursday that he and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma have decided to increase the fencing along their inter-state border.

Zoramthanga and Sarma met to resolve their boundary disputes reportedly after the Union home ministry intervened on the matter, officials told PTI.

“Tomorrow, we hope of meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah together,” Zoramthanga told reporters. “We will try to increase the fencing that we have all along [the border].”
