Aizawl, Aug 10: Supply of essential commodities is gradually returning to normalcy in Mizoram as trucks carrying goods are entering the state from neighbouring Assam through National Highway-306, Mizoram minister K Lalrinliana said on Tuesday.
Trucks from the rest of the country started rumbling into Mizoram across a disputed border with Assam since the night of August 7, some 12 days after a bloody clash between police forces of the two states left 7 people dead and over 50 injured.
Mizoram Deputy Inspector General of Police (Northern Range) Lalbiakthanga Khiangte told PTI that at least 1,303 vehicles have entered the state from Assam via NH-306 from Saturday night till 6 pm on Tuesday.
