(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
After“60 per cent” of Assam's border problems with Meghalaya
were resolved amicably, the same dispute between Arunachal Pradesh
and Assam is likely to be settled by this year, Union Home Minister
Amit Shah said on Saturday, Trend reports citing The Tribune.
The governments of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are working for
an amicable and permanent resolution of the border issue, Shah said
while addressing the golden jubilee celebration of the Ramakrishna
Mission School at Narottam Nagar in Tirap district.
Arunachal, which was carved out of Assam, was initially a union
territory. It became a full-fledged state in 1987. The two states
share an 804.1 km long border. The boundary issue which originated
during the re-organisation of the North-eastern states is now
pending in the Supreme Court.
“Almost 60 per cent border dispute between Assam and Meghalaya
was resolved amicably and I am confident that the dispute between
Arunachal and Assam will be settled before 2023,” said Shah, who is
on a two-day visit to Arunachal Pradesh from Saturday. Assam and
Meghalaya in March decided to end their five-decade-old border
dispute in six of the 12 contested locations.
