Assam to Fast-Track Border Dispute Settlements with Meghalaya and Arunachal

Border disputes between Assam and Meghalaya, as well as Arunachal Pradesh, will be resolved faster after a review by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan. Agreements with both states were signed earlier this year. Surveys in six disputed areas along the Assam-Meghalaya border and 38 villages along the Assam-Arunachal border are expected to be completed in six months. Regional committees will finalize boundaries for 49 villages. Efforts to reduce differences in other areas and install boundary pillars are ongoing. Talks with Nagaland and Mizoram continue for resolving disputes.
