In November last year, the two CMs met in the presence of Amit Shah in the national capital to discuss the decades-long pending issue.Notbaly, the border dispute had turned violent resulting in the death of seven personnel from the Assam police and injuring several others in July last year. Following this, a couple of rounds of meetings took place between the delegations from Assam and Mizoram to amicably solve this issue.

In 1972, Mizoram was made a union territory. However, the UT which was carved out of Assam was made a state in 1987. After initial acceptance of the border with Assam Mizoram gradually began disputing the border.
