Lalrinliana informed that out of 25, 16 villages are in Lunglei district, 2 are in Mamit, 4 in Aizawl district and rest 3 in Champhai. Out of these districts, Lunglei and Mamit share border with Bangladesh while Champhai is near Myanmar border.

According to a recent study conducted by Student bodies of the state such as Mizo Zirlai Pawl, people who have set up illegal villages along the border areas of the state belonged to the Chakma community who entered the state from Bangladesh.
