Big Agreement Between Assam And Meghalaya On Border Dispute

 


Pradeep Kumar's report –  Today a big settlement has been reached between Assam and Meghalaya regarding the border dispute. There is a dispute over the border at 12 places between Assam and Meghalaya. In the first phase, 6 disputed border sites have been resolved, while in the second phase, the remaining 6 places will be signed soon. Amit Shah has described this agreement as historic. Home Minister Amit Shah has said that "Today is a historic day for a dispute-free Northeast. Attempts have been made."

The Home Minister further said that, “I am happy that today there has been an agreement between Assam and Meghalaya at 6 out of 12 points of dispute. In terms of the length of the border, about 70% of the border has become dispute free today. I am sure. We hope that the remaining 6 places will also be resolved in the near future.

After the agreement, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that after this MoU, we will start the work of the second phase and will try our best to resolve the remaining 6 disputed sites in the next 6-7 months. At the same time, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said that going ahead, the remaining places where there are disputes will try to resolve them soon.

Meghalaya was carved out of Assam as a state in 1972 and challenged the Assam Reorganization Act, 1971, which led to a dispute over 12 areas in different parts of the 884.9-km-long common border.
