Guwahati: The day after five policemen Assam was killed in the border clash with Mizo’s intruders allegedly supported by the police, Mizoram on Tuesday refused to succumb to the placement of state troops in the zone disputed even when Assam retreated 100 meters from the site with the instructions of the Union Amit News Minister Shah.
Although there was no further aggression of both sides, uncomfortable tranquility dropped on the border, with the CRPF overseeing the disputed sites from the police post which Assam was emptied for “neutral power”.
Ani quoted CRPF DG Kuldiep Singh said that “Police Assam had withdrew from the disputed area but Mizoram police continued to live in their temporary post”.
“Assam is ready to hand over anything for peace.
We don’t want land.
But that (the disputed area) is a backup forest that cannot be used for human settlement.
The rest of India must know the dispute is not too high, but the forest that Assam wants to protect,” said CM Himanta Buswa Sarma.
“This is not a political problem but a long border dispute waits between the two countries.” Sarma said Assam would immediately move the Supreme Court, seeking the protection of 509sq miles “forest binaris reserves” in the heart of the dispute.
This reserve forest straddles the parts of the Cachar and Hailakadi district in South Assam, bordering Mizoram and Manipur.
“We have decided to spread the three command battalions, each with 1,200 personnel, to maintain the Assam-Mizoram border in Hailakandi, Silchar and Karimganj.” The four additional companies from the CRPF have been sent to the disputed area to ensure the status quo.
Sarma, who visited Silchar to put a bouquet of flowers on the police body killed, said intruders from Mizoram had tried to penetrate five reserve forest sectors in the past six months.
“In the past two months, Assam has managed to protect the constitutional limit and continue the steps for peaceful resolutions.
On July 8, the main secretary of the two countries met in New Delhi, where we said that Assam was ready to maintain the status quo from any date from the date .
Decided by the Mizoram government, based on the satellite image that day.
But Mizoram refused to sign an agreement.
“On July 25, DFO Silchar reported that Mizoram had begun to build new roads and leading posts, in addition to cleaning the forest for jhum cultivation, said Sarma , CM initially announced on Twitter that six police officers were killed in Monday’s shot.
He revised the number of victims to five late at night.
The government led by BJP has announced RS 50 Lakh each to the killed police relatives and government work for one family member.
Each of the injured will get Rs 1 Lakh, while all police personnel are deployed along the border will be paid for the extra month salary.
