Supply of essential items were partly hit in Mizoram due to an indefinite blockade on NH 306, the lifeline that links the landlocked State with the rest of the country, an official said on Friday.
Over 17,00 landowners along the stretch of NH- 306 and NH-6 between Vairengte and Kawnpui villages in northern Mizoram’s Kolasib district bordering Assam have set up the blockade which is preventing vehicles from coming to Mizoram from outside via Assam since Thursday.
They are demanding compensation for their lands, which fall in the area where the proposed widening of the national highways has ben taken up by National Infrastructure and Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL).
