The recent clash occurred on October 17, 2020 when the residents of Lailapur village in Cachar district of Assam collided with the locals of Kolasib district of Mizoram.<\/p>\n<p>The Assam-Mizoram Border conflict is not a new one; the dispute has persisted for long. Both the states share a 164.6 km inter-state border. Three Assam districts, namely, Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj share their border with three Mizoram districts including Kolasib, Mamit and Aizawl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what caused the recent clashes at Assam-Mizoram Border?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few volunteers of Mizoram had put checkpoints on the Assamese side of the border, allegedly in the wake of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/nerising.in\/covid19-northeast-statewise-tally\/\">COVID-19<\/a><\/span><\/span> pandemic.

People of Assam and Mizoram have attributed the border conflicts to the differences over this not-so-clear boundary.
