The Mizoram government deployed more policemen in southern Mizoram's Borapansury village in view of the student body Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP)'s proposed construction of 'Zofate Khualbuk' or Mizo Inn in the Bangladesh border village on Wednesday.
IGP Zorammawia told PTI that though they did not apprehend serious law and order situation, precautionary measures have been taken in the area where the Chakma community is concentrated.
"We have not yet receive any reports indicating serious communal tension in the area," Zorammawia said, adding, however, that the government was prepared to face any eventuality.
Meanwhile, a large number of students led by the MZP President Lalhmachhuana left Aizawl this morning to construct the 'Zofate Khualbuk' at a land allocated for them inside the state Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs department in Borapansury village.
They would go ahead with the construction tomorrow despite protests from the Chakma community as the land is within Mizoram, MZP leaders said.
