This step has been taken to stop the entry of Coronavirus disease to this Northeastern hill state. The Mizoram government has also stopped providing Inner Liner Permits (ILP) and closed down its centres at Silchar and other places along Assam-Mizoram border.
The Mizoram government has closed Vairengte check gate along the Assam-Mizoram border to prevent entry of outsiders. However, trucks carrying essential goods have been allowed to enter the state.
