On January 23, Congress workers in the presence of Gandhi and other leaders broke police barricades, which were put up after the CM threatened to file an FIR if the yatra attempted to enter the main Guwahati city.
Assam and Mizoram share a 164.6 km-long border. Both CMs also discussed a wide range of developmental issues during the one-to-one meeting in Guwahati.
