As many as eight areas along the sensitive Assam-Mizoram border have been declared as “no drone zone”.
The announcement was made by Kolasib district administration in Mizoram.
With this, use of drones in these eight areas under the jurisdiction of the Kolasib district administration have been prohibited.
Notably, tensions along the Assam-Mizoram border have been at an all-time high, ever since the Monday’s bloody clash, where six Assam Police personnel and a civilian lost their lives, and scores of others injured on both sides.
