Mizoram Expands Rubber Cultivation Amidst Assam Border Dispute

Mizoram is growing more rubber trees in Mamit.

This comes after a disagreement with Assam about where to plant these trees, causing some tension along the border.

The government wants to help farmers by expanding the area where they can grow rubber.

They are also providing machines to process the rubber.

This is part of a larger plan to support rubber farming across the state, with help from a bank and the government's own programs.

The move follows a dispute where Mizoram says Assam officials damaged rubber plants.
