Though none of the north east insurgents boycotted the Independence Day in Mizoram, security was beefed up in the state in view of the celebrations for the occasion tomorrow.

Tight security arrangements were made in and around the Assam Rifles ground where Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio would unfurl the national flag tomorrow, Aizawl district Superintendent of Police L R Dingliana Sailo told PTI.

Strict vigil was being maintained at vital installations, Sailo said.

Night patrol and mobile patrolling by police personnel were beefed up since a few days earlier in various parts of the state.
