"The state is no longer used by gun-runners. Whosoever is indulging in this has been arrested. Many of them were brought to book," Lal Thanhawla told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
"Earlier, of course it was the free state for gun-running and counterfeit currency business," he admitted.
"Before I took over all these things were happening; culprits were never brought to book. But no militants are there now, and we do not allow them to use our territory - neither from Bangladesh nor from Myanmar," the chief minister said.
Two months back a key accused in 2008 Assam serial blasts, B Jwangkhang alias George Boro of NDFB, was arrested from Mizoram capital town Aizawl along with his PSO.
The National Investigation Agency, probing terror-related cases, involving an Assam militant outfit Black Widow, had arrested a key arms dealer from Mizoram who had confessed to having supplied several consignments of arms to the outfit.
Security agencies have often been stating that Mizoram was being used by anti-national elements as a transit to supply arms brought from China and Myanmar to militants in Northeast.
