Notably, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad Sangma sat for discussions on the boundary issue on July 23.
In the meeting, Meghalaya and Assam decided to put in their best efforts to resolve the decades old inter-state boundary dispute and go beyond the word “status quo” which has been maintained by both the states.
“Both the states have come to an understanding that though status quo will be maintained in those areas, but both the states need to travel beyond the status quo, and solve the disputed areas one by one, as it may not be possible to solve all at a time,” the Assam chief minister said.
“The kind of interest showed by both Assam and Meghalaya as well as the desire of the Central government, this issue can be resolved amicably,” Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma had said.
