Mizoram

To end the ongoing border dispute, Assam and Mizoram sealed an agreement to keep police and forest guards out of the disputed grounds on August 5. Instead, neutral forces have been delegated to maintain law and order on those grounds. Following the Aizawl's meet, Mizoram CM’s Office tweeted, “Govt. of Assam & Govt. of Mizoram successfully signed a Joint Statement today after deliberations at Aizawl".

Mizoram has accused Assam of "economic blockade" due to the ongoing border dispute and has requested the Union government to intervene in the matter. Zoramthanga government wrote to the Center to get Assam to open rail and road blockade "owned and maintained by the government of India". Mizoram said that the blocking of rail routes and roadways has disrupted the transportation of essentials and foodgrains in the state.

Gauhati HC calls the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the Mizoram government to limit the movement of unvaccinated people ''unreasonable and arbitrary.'' In its SOP issued on June 29, the govt had said that all unvaccinated people will be restricted to leave their houses or earn their livelihood by working in shops, stores, etc. The SOP does not fall under the provisions of Article 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution.

As many as 9246 including the CM of Chin State, Salai Lian Luai have been staying in Mizoram as refugees since February, said the Mizoram police. These people also include 24 lawmakers of Aung San Suu Kyi's party who have taken refuge after a military coup. However, the refugees have been provided food and shelter by civil society organisations, student communities & locals.

Around 23 students in Mizoram trek uphill for nearly two kilometers through forest for internet access to give their even semester undergraduate exams. The lack of internet access due to the terrain in their hometown led them to write exams from makeshift huts made of bamboo, tarpaulin and banana leaves. Complaining of fleeting mobile network and 2G internet, two similar huts were raised in Lunglei and Siaha districts.
