Assam's land will not be included in proposed Nagalim: Sarbananda Sonowal

Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal has said that the state's land will not be included in the proposed Nagalim.

In a statement issued here on Thursday, Sonowal said, “The state’s geographical territory would not be compromised. The people in any part of the state need not worry about proposed Nagalim and people in Dima Hasao also should not have any apprehension regarding this matter."

Stating that Home Minister Rajnath Singh has already assured of non-inclusion of Assam’s land in Nagalim and state government has also taken all steps to ensure the same, Sonowal called on the people of the state to maintain peace and harmony.


A crucial meeting was held on Thursday at chief minister’s conference room where chief executive member and executive member of Dima Hasao Autonomous Council along with representatives of various organisations of Dima Hasao took part.

Minister for Industry and Commerce, Parliamentary Affairs Chandra Mohan Patwary, who chaired the meeting, said that not an inch of Assam’s land would be conceded at any cost.

The minister urged the people to stay alert to prevent any such incidents from taking place in the future. He also urged them not to be misled by rumours and misinformation.
