A three-member high-level team of the union home ministry will visit the troubled areas along the Assam-Mizoram border early next week to review the situation there and suggest measures to avoid further tension, an official source said.

MZP has said the land at Zophai in Kolasib of Mizoram was given to the students union by the widow of the first Mizoram chief minister Ch Chhunga
