New Delhi, July 26
As tensions flared between Assam and Mizoram over an inter-state border dispute, both states have deployed sizeable contingents of police personnel along border areas.
The Assam police have set up camps at two locations along the state's interstate border with Mizoram.
The police officers have begun amping along the inter-state border in Cachar district at Khulicherra and Dholakhal. The senior officers are also camping along the border.
The tension along the interstate border with Mizoram in Cachar and Hailakandi districts of Assam has been escalating over the last few days following Assam Police's drive to clear land allegedly encroached by miscreants from across the border.
An IED was hurled at an Assam government team visiting the border by suspected miscreants on July 10, while two back-to-back explosions were heard from across the border in the wee hours of July 11.
Some villagers have fled their homes along the inter-state border in fear. The police added that the villagers fled Gomes seeing the increased police presence sensing trouble however noone was forced to vacate homes.
