Meanwhile, the police and district administration in Hailakandi have launched an investigation into the incident.
However, the identity of those involved in the incident is yet to be ascertained.
On the other hand, security in and around the area has been beefed up following the twin blasts.
Meanwhile, the Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) has slammed the BJP-led Assam Government for the incident.
The AJYCP said that negligence on part of the Assam Government to resolve the border dispute with Mizoram has resulted in such incidents taking place along the Inter-State border frequently.
Notably, violent clashes had broken out between the people of Cachar district of Assam and Mizoram’s Kolasib district in October-November last year.
Many on both sides sustained injuries in the clashes that continued for days.
However, persistent negotiations between officials of both Assam and Mizoram, even at Chief Secretarial level ensured de-escalation of tensions.
