Aizawl, August 14, 2025: Pu Lalmuanpuia Punte, MLA and Adviser to the Chief Minister (Political), conducted an unannounced inspection of various police duty points along the Mizoram–Assam border yesterday, amid ongoing concerns over inter-state tensions.
The visit comes in the wake of recent incidents where Assam authorities reportedly sent back residents found in Assam without valid documents. In line with the Home Minister’s directive, Pu Punte toured multiple security locations to assess preparedness and operational efficiency.
His inspection covered the Bairabi Police Station, Railway Station, and duty posts along the Assam border, including ILP (Inner Line Permit) check and issue points. He reviewed the availability of essential resources, working conditions, and operational needs of police personnel. The Adviser also took note of any challenges faced by officers on duty.
Pu Punte further held discussions with community leaders, meeting representatives of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) and Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) in Bairabi. He acknowledged their contributions in assisting border security and fostering coordination with law enforcement.
Today, the inspection continued to Vairengte, Phaisen, and Saiphai, where Pu Punte assessed police operations, border vigilance measures, and inter-state coordination. His visits aimed to ensure that security arrangements are robust, personnel morale remains high, and public safety is maintained.
The Adviser’s initiative underscores the state government’s commitment to safeguarding Mizoram’s borders while maintaining peaceful relations with Assam, even as both sides work through administrative and legal differences.
