The ethnic unrest in adjoining Manipur appears to have led to a spike in the trafficking of drugs and other contraband items in Mizoram from Myanmar.
Both Manipur and Mizoram have been conduits of drug trade from Myanmar and beyond in eastern and southeastern Asia. Traffickers have often used the areas along the Moreh-Sugnu axis in Manipur and the Zokhawthar-Kolasib axis in Mizoram.
