Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad K. Sangma have decided to visit the disputed sectors along the interstate boundary for building the confidence of the stakeholders.
The two Chief Ministers held the ninth Chief Minsiter-level meeting in Guwahati on Sunday for resolving the remaining six of the 12 disputed areas along the 885 km boundary between the two States. The disputes in the six “less complicated” sectors were resolved with the signing of an agreement in the presence of Home Minister Amit Shah on March 29.
Following the formula applied to iron out the differences in the first six sectors, the two Chief Ministers decided to form three regional-level committees each for finding a solution to the recurring conflicts in the six “complicated” sectors.
