GUWAHATI: Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga on Friday once again reiterated from his Twitter handle that 'NorthEast India Will Always Be One" and shared an official order assuring that there will be "no restrictions" and "no harm" to non-Mizos travelling through the border district.
Zoramthanga's Twitter announcement comes a day after the Assam government issued a travel advisory to its residents against travelling to the neighbouring state and also advised people of Assam staying in Mizoram due to work-related compulsions to exercise utmost caution. The Mizoram CM, after sharing this order as 'notice to all' underlined in his second tweet, "I still hope for an amicable solution to the #AssamMizoramBorderTension from the Central Government."
Later in the day, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma clarified that the travel advisory issued by the state government was not a ban order on travelling to Mizoram. "There is no curb on travel. We have advised people to think before going to Mizoram as civilians have arms in their hands and this will continue until the Mizoram government seizes the weapons," he said.
The order issued by Kolasib deputy commissioner Dr H Lalthlangliana also advised Mizo residents not to cause any disturbance and harm to non-locals within Kolasib district amid the inter-state border issue.
