Mizoram ethnic violence: paramilitary forces deployed
 

Aizawl/Agartala: Paramilitary forces were deployed as tension prevailed in southern Mizoram and northern Tripura on November 16 after over 300 houses of Reang tribals were set ablaze following the gunning down of a Mizo youth last week, officials here said.

"Central paramilitary Assam Rifles troopers, and Tripura and Mizoram armed police have been deployed in the trouble-torn southern Mizoram and northern Tripura to prevent any fresh hostility between Mizos and Reang tribals," an official said.

Violent mobs have set fire to more than 300 houses of Reang tribals in 15 villages under Mamit and Kolashib districts in southern Mizoram since Saturday, displacing over 5,000 people. The displaced tribals have taken shelter in adjacent southern Assam and Jampui in northern Tripura.
