 Inter states border disputes 

Mizoram and Assam

  • Mizoram was a district of Assam before it was carved out as a union territory in 1971 after years of insurgency and district border did not  really matter.
  • Mizoram border dispute with Assam goes back to 1971-72 when Mizoram was first carved out as a union territory ( it became a state in 1987).
  • The two states share a 164.6 km border between the Assam's districts of cachar, Hailakandi, and Karimganj and Mizoram's kolasib, Mamit  and Aizawl district. 
  • The border dispute cropped up after formation of union territory that as a perceptions over where the boundary should be differed.
  • While Mizoram wants it to be along the inner line notified in 1985, which mizo tribals feel is a part of their historical homeland,  Assam wants it to be demarcated according to district demarcation done much later. 

  • The current dispute is because of a road construction by the Mizoram towards Rengti basti in Assam, violating the inner line reserve forest in lailapur area. Mizoram also setup armed camp on a hillock next to CRPF camp. 
    • Stone pelting by Mizoram 
    • Tear gas shell by Mizoram 
    • Tension along border with Mizoram in cachar and Hailakandi districts of Assam have been since October 2020 with frequent incidents of burning of houses and charges of encroachment of land by both Sides. 
    • Assam blocked the road NH-306 the lifeline of Mizoram. 
    • Life loss of police personnel.
