After violent clashes and days of talking at each other, Assam and Mizoram governments held talks in Aizawl on Thursday and agreed to resolve the inter-state border dispute amicably.

The Assam government also decided to revoke an advisory issued earlier against travel to Mizoram, officials said.

Both the state governments have agreed to maintain peace in the inter-state border areas and welcomed the deployment of neutral force by Government of India in this regard.
