Aizawl: Security has been tightened along the unfenced 64-km-long border near the tri-junction of Mizoram-Tripura-Bangladesh in the state’s Mamit district ahead of the November 25 Assembly polls, state Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ashwani Kumar on Thursday said.

Kumar told PTI that patrolling by Central para-military force personnel has been intensified in the area as the Bangladesh and Tripura sides were frequently used by north east insurgents for crimes like abductions and extortion.

As many as 94 polling stations, specially those on the borders, have been identified as critical and special watch and measures have been ordered. There are a total 1,126 polling stations in Mizoram. (PTI)
