In his meeting with the Home Secretaries, the MP also emphasised the importance of resolving the Mizoram-Assam border issue, as well as the importance of developing the border areas.
He also requested that the Home Secretaries investigate the appointment of Mizoram State Police officers to the All India Service, as the process appeared to be taking longer than expected.
