Mizo-civilians are heavily armed with automatic weapons, Assam Govt. advises against traveling to Mizoram

Considering that there have been several cases of violent skirmishes in the border area of Assam and Mizoram recently in the three districts of the state, Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi, the Government of Assam has issued a travel advisory.

“The latest skirmish on 26-07-2021 in the district of Cachar led to indiscriminate firing on the police personnel as well as civilians on Cachar’s side. In the process, six policemen lost their lives and scores of policemen and civilians were seriously injured. Even after this incident certain Mizo Civil Society, students, and youth organizations are constantly issuing provocative statements against the state of Assam and its people,” stated the advisory.

The not-so-shocking revelations follow, “It has been reliably learned from video footage available with Assam Police, that many civilians are heavily armed with automatic weapons etc. In view of the above and with the purpose of ensuring safety and security, a Travel Advisory is hereby issued to all the people of Assam.”

“Given the critical prevailing situation, the people of Assam are advised not to travel to Mizoram as any threat to the personal safety of people of Assam cannot be accepted. People of Assam, staying in Mizoram due to work-related compulsion, should exercise utmost caution. These Advisories will come into force with immediate effect and be given publicity for wider public knowledge and adherence,” adds the advisory.
