Called up Mizoram CM 6 times, he kept saying ‘sorry’: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday claimed to have made six frantic calls to his Mizoram counterpart Zoramthanga the previous afternoon to stop the firing in which five cops from his state were killed and scores of others injured. On each occasion, the Mizoram chief minister’s only response was “I am very, very sorry”, he said.
