Border dispute: Assam and Meghalaya exchange reports submitted by their respective regional committees

On vexed border dispute both Assam and Meghalaya on Monday exchanged reports submitted by their respective regional committees

Meghalaya Chief minister Conrad K Sangma informed that a detailed meeting was held with the Deputy chief minister of Meghalaya Prestone Tynsong and Assam minister P Hazarika.

"We had a detailed discussion and presentation and exchange of the reports that were made by both the regional committees and now the Assam government has the report made by the Meghalaya government and vice-versa. We have gone through it. Again a detailed discussion was also held and I must say it was a very positive discussion,” Sangma said.


Sangma said, "Because we will be meeting at the chief ministers’ level again and that is when we will be coming up with the final outcome and final decision which I hope will be within the next few weeks, we will be able to meet and finalize on the reports and take final decision at least for the first phase.”

On December 22 last year, Sangma and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had a meeting in Guwahati on border dispute.

Sarma earlier said while there are 12 disputed areas between Assam and Meghalaya, presently six places have been taken up in the first phase for resolution.
