Northeast, 4th November: The blockade on the National Highway-306 prevented trucks from entering Mizoram from Assam. The National Highway-306 is a link between the two states.
No other vehicles or truck have entered from Assam on Tuesday, said the officer-in-charge of Vairengte police station, Lalchawimawia. This was because of the blockade in Mizoram due to the border dispute between the two states.
