Aizawl, Jun 25(UNI) A protest day will be observed in Mizoram tomorrow against Gauhati High Court's recent order preventing the state from arresting and deporting any Indian national under the Inner Line Permit (or Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation 1873).

It was agreed at an all-party meeting attended by the state's NGOs and churches that the Central Young Mizo Association (CYMA) would spearhead the protest day, purported to be a ''total bandh'', sources said.
