Big Agreement Between Assam And Meghalaya On Border Dispute
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.
