DGP Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta informed him about the steps taken for keeping law and order situation in control. Sonowal directed the top officials to maintain peace and harmony in the border region.
While on the other hand, Tripura CM has urged his Mizoram counterpart to take up the Fuldangsei issue with the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA). He said, “If anybody has any objection over a particular area of the inter-State border, the concerned individual or State can approach the MHA to check the geographical map of the spot.“
Stating that there should not be any issues over territory within the country, he said, ” Under the federal structure, the MHA is the competent authority to check the geographical area of a particular area. Everybody should respect the inter-State border prepared by the competent authority.”
