170 in fray, 8.5 lakh voters will pick 40 for Mizoram House today
Mizoram, the former hotbed of militancy in the North-East that has zealously guarded its peace for 37 years, kicks off a five-state round of assembly elections on Tuesday under the shadow of an ethnic conflict in neighbouring Manipur and a renewed focus on its open international borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh. While the run-up to the vote has been free of violence, two police constables deployed for election duty died ahead of polling - one of them in a road accident while travelling with his colleagues to a remote village of Tuichawng on Sunday.
