Assam, Meghalaya to settle 6 border disputes

The chief ministers of Assam andMeghalaya in principle reached a settlement on the half-a-century border dispute between the two states in six of the 12 areas.
The two governments will sign the final MoU by end of this month after securing Consent from the opposition and organisations in their respective states.

The boundary differences between the two states at 12 points along the 885-km-long inter-state border have existed since the birth of Meghalaya in 1972. A few months back, Sarma and Conrad decided to take up the six least complicated disputed sites.
