Aizawl/Silchar (Assam), July 30 (TIWN) In wake of the tensions on the border with Assam, the Mizoram government has taken steps to ferry transport fuels and other essentials from neighbouring Tripura and Manipur, officials said on Friday.

Kolasib Deputy Commissioner H. Lalthlangliana, in a notification, said that there are no restrictions on the movement of non-residents of Mizoram travelling through the district, which abuts Assam's Cachar.  "Mizo residents are also advised to allow no disturbance and to cause no harm to non-locals within Kolasib district in connection with the inter-state boundary issue at Mizoram-Assam border," it said.  Meanwhile, an Indian Oil Corporation official in Agartala said that steps are being taken to supply petrol and diesel to Mizoram by road.  Mizoram Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister K. Lalrinliana said in Aizawl that the state government has begun transporting petrol, diesel and other essentials from Tripura and Manipur even though, at the moment, there is no shortage of these indispensable items in the mountainous state.
