Aizawl, June 10: Following the destruction of a bridge by the neighbouring country’s army on Saturday, official border trade between Mizoram and Myanmar’s Sagaing division has been suspended for the past two days.

Officials and local people said that Myanmar Army personnel blew up the suspension bridge over the Run River in the Teddim township area using explosives on Saturday

Destruction of this bridge has cut the main road connecting Mizoram to Tahan town in Myanmar’s Sagaing division.

The border trade have been taking place through the Zokhawthar border trade centre in eastern Mizoram’s Champhai district.
