Trucks resumed movement only after Assam agreed to restore peace and normalcy, (which they partially did). Mizoram had nothing but peace and normalcy on their side, they ensured that they were well fed. The trucks did not even need protection of any kind once they were on Mizoram side. There are many biased and false news reports out there siding with Assam, do not believe them.
