The MZP issued a statement denouncing the violent act within Mizoram's borders and urged the state govt to investigate the matter, halt Tripura's construction activities, and station state police in the area.
The statement noted, "The fact that the explosion happened at the time the Tripura State Rifles were on duty can be regarded as intention to tarnish the image of Mizoram and also terrorise the villagers of Phuldungsei.

At the federal council meeting, which represents the organisation's second-highest decision-making body, members passed a resolution stating that the MZP would maintain its opposition to the Mizoram-Myanmar border fencing, citing concerns about its impact on the unity of 'Zofate' or ethnic Mizos.

New Delhi [India], May 27(ANI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted three more accused in a case relating to trafficking and supply of illegal arms, ammunition and explosives to insurgents in the north-eastern state of Mizoram, an official release stated. All the three accused, identified as Vanlaldailova, Lalmuanpuia and Lalrinchhunga @ Albert, hail from Mizoram. They were arrested on December 6, 2024 following the seizure of arms, ammunition and explosive materials during searches at their residences.

As per NIA investigations, he had misused his dealership to promote such activities, the release stated. Lalmuanpuia and Lalrinchhunga had actively participated in this illegal network by facilitating the procurement and delivery of arms, ammunition and explosives for insurgent use. Lalrinchhunga was also engaged in the illegal manufacture and repair of firearms. The case was registered by NIA in New Delhi in December 2023 on the basis of credible inputs relating to the involvement of Lalngaihawma and Lalmuanawma in the supply of arms, ammunition and explosives across the northeastern region and other parts of India, including Delhi. The main chargesheet was filed against Lalngaihawma in July 2024, followed by a supplementary chargesheet against Solomona in November.
