Mizoram officials had requested the central government to arrange special flights to evacuate the stranded residents, citing safety concerns and the need for urgent medical attention. However, the request was denied by the Centre, which cited logistical issues and the lack of necessary permissions from the Manipur government.
The denial of the request has sparked outrage among Mizoram residents and political leaders, who have accused the Centre of neglecting the safety and well-being of its citizens. Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga took to Twitter to express his disappointment over the Centre’s decision, saying that the safety of Mizoram residents should be a priority.
Meanwhile, the border dispute between Mizoram and Manipur continues to simmer, with both sides blaming each other for the tensions. The dispute, which revolves around a stretch of land along the border, has led to sporadic clashes and incidents of violence in the past.
The situation remains tense, with both states deploying additional security personnel along the border to prevent any untoward incidents. The central government has also intervened, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah holding a meeting with the chief ministers of both states to find a resolution to the dispute.
The denial of the request for evacuation flights has only added to the already strained relations between Mizoram and the Centre. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but one thing is clear – the safety and well-being of citizens should always be a top priority for the government.
