Tensions flared along the Mizoram-Tripura border as unknown individuals destroyed an under-construction guest house early Wednesday. This escalation occurred when explosives were used on the structure, developed by the Tripura Forest Department in a contested zone.
The guest house was located near Phuldungsei village in Mizoram's Mamit district, an area claimed by both Mizoram and Tripura. The construction had already been halted by the Tripura government following objections from Mizoram, a point highlighted by Inspector General of Police H. Ramthlengliana.
Despite this violent incident, the border situation remains calm, as confirmed by the Mizoram police. An investigation is underway, with Mizoram officials in communication with their Tripura counterparts. No arrests have been made regarding the explosion that has sparked previous regional tensions.
