Aizawl, May 24 : Union Home minister P Chidambaram is on a two-day trip to Mizoram and Assam, starting Monday, to review the security situation in these North Eastern states.
Chidambaram flew to Mizoram capital Aizawl Monday morning and is scheduled to visit Mamit district to inspect the settlement of tribal refugees returning from relief camps in bordering Tripura, official sources said.
Following the intervention of the Union Home minister, Mizoram had allowed the refugees to return home after they had fled to Tripura following ethic clashes.
Chidambaram is also scheduled to meet Mizoram Governor MM Lakhera, chief minister Lalthanhawla and other top officials to discuss the security scene in the state.
The Union minister will arrive in Assam Tuesday morning and is expected to hold meetings with chief minister Tarun Gogoi and other top security officials.
The matter of putting the proposed peace talks with the banned United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) on the fast-track is likely to come up for discussion, the sources said.
The recent communal flare-up along Assam-Meghalaya border is also expected to figure in the talks.
