There was tension in some areas along the Mizoram-Assam border when Assam minister Siddique Ahmed Majumdar visited the police checkgate in the border town of Vairengte with a large number of villagers.

Mizoram police officials said around 50 villagers from Lailapur in Assam preceded Majumdar's entourage on two-wheelers in an alleged attempt to enter the Mizoram police's check gate at Vairengte last evening. While the minister's car turned back before reaching the police checkgate, some Lailapur villagers reached it and were stopped by Mizoram police and local residents.
