The Mizoram government has formed a study group headed by an expert from Mizoram University (MZU) to study and collect relevant information on its claimed border areas to be furnished to Assam government, an official statement said. The study group was the follow-up of a decision made during the border talks between Mizoram and Assam held at Guwahati in November last year. The meeting of a boundary committee chaired by Mizoram Home minister Lalchamliana on Friday appointed Prof J Doungel, a political science teacher from MZU as the study group’s convener, while joint secretary in the Home department Lalthiamsanga was appointed as member secretary, the official statement said.
