Mizoram forms Boundary Committee

Mizoram government constituted a state boundary committee chaired by former minister C Chawngkunga to look into boundary disputes with neighbouring states, especially Assam and Tripura. 

Officials said that the director of state land revenue and settlement department was appointed as member-secretary of the committee and C L Ruala, MP (Lok Sabha), Lalduhoma, MLA and Wing Commander Lalnghinglova as members.

The terms of reference of the boundary committee included study of boundary disputes and making recommendations to the state government and also to conduct a study on border fencing.

Earlier, Mizoram government had urged the Centre to constitute a boundary commission to resolve inter-state border disputes in the north east, especially between Mizoram and Assam. 

The state boundary committee was constituted after the Centre ignored the pleas to form a boundary commission.
