Mizoram CM keen to visit Tripura to resolve border dispute: Saha

Agartala, Jul 11 (PTI) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday said his Mizoram counterpart Lalduhoma is keen to visit the state to resolve a border dispute. Tripura shares a 107-km interstate border with Mizoram's two districts -- Mamit and Kolasib. Both states claim Phuldungsei village, which occasionally witnesses problems between the two sides. "During the recent NEC (North Eastern Council) plenary session at Shillong, I spoke with Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma over the inter-state boundary dispute and he agreed to resolve the issue. He is keen to visit our state to sort out the problem," Saha said at a programme here. Saha said he suggested the Mizoram CM to initiate official-level talks to discuss the issue first. It can be then amicably resolved by the two chief ministers, he added. PTI PS ACD
