Assam-Meghalaya Border Row: Himanta Sarma, Conrad Sangma To Hold Talks
The second round of talks between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad Sangma to resolve border disputes in six remaining areas will be held on Wednesday. Both the CMs will also visit the disputed areas later as a goodwill gesture, PTI reported.
"The Meghalaya CM will come here tomorrow and discussion will be held on finding solutions for the remaining six areas," Sarma said.
The first round of border talks were held in March last year and it ended after both chief ministers signed an MoU in Delhi to end the border disputes in six areas. The MoU was signed in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Last year in November, the border issue flared up after six people, including an Assam Forest Guard, were killed during an alleged clash between the Assam Police and a mob in an area bordering the West Karbi Anglong district of Assam and Mukroh village in Meghalaya's West Jaintia Hills.
The Assam Police had claimed they opened fire in self defence after a mob surrounded them when they were trying to intercept a truck allegedly smuggling timber. Five of those killed are from Meghalaya.
Assam and Meghalaya share a 884.9-km-long border and have a protracted dispute in 12 areas.
Meghalaya was carved out of Assam in 1972 and had since then challenged the Assam Reorganisation Act of 1971, which is recognised by Assam as its border.
