In the meeting held at the Chumukedima police complex, Dimapur, Nagaland chief secretary Toy and DGP Longkumer stressed the need for maintenance of neutrality by the central forces and other security forces of Assam in the disputed area belt and also for not taking any unilateral action which may create misunderstanding.
