GUWAHATI: Six Assam cops were killed and around 80 people, including officials, were injured in firing by Mizoram police and alleged Mizo intruders along the inter-state border in Cachar’s Lailapur on Monday as a boundary dispute festering for 25-odd years escalated into full-blown violence involving security forces and civilians on either side.
While Assam said the contingent of officials and police deployed to “defend” the “constitutional boundary” were attacked within its territory, Mizoram home minister Lalchamliana said Mizoram police had to resort to firing to “counter an assault” by their counterparts.
“I am deeply pained to inform that six brave jawans of Assam Police have sacrificed their lives while defending the constitutional boundary of our state at the Assam-Mizoram border. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families,” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted.
