Synopsis On July 12, the Mizoram government sought compensation from Assam for the alleged destruction of crops in Mizoram area. Assam retorted by stating that it just thwarted Mizoram's attempts to encroach upon forest land in Lailapur. Last month, houses were torched by miscreants in Gollacherra in Hailakandi district of Assam, along the Assam-Mizoram border. ANI Border disputes are not new to the northeastern states, especially since there have been conflicts over these states' notional/perceived idea of their boundaries which may be at variance with their actual borders.
