Digital Desk: Assam and Meghalaya will sign an agreement on March 27 in the national capital to end the long-pending issue in six border areas of both states; Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma informed on Monday.
“Within this month, we will sign this agreement and have our final discussion with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The initial date that has been given to me is March 27,” Sangma stated during the state assembly’s budget session.
“So all cabinet colleagues and officials involved in this will be travelling to Delhi to commemorate this historic occasion, and I am hopeful that on March 27, we will be able to reach a final agreement and sign the agreement on the six places,” he added.
The Chief Ministers of Assam and Meghalaya signed the Memorandum of Understanding on January 29 and presented it to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on January 31 for study and consideration of the MHA.
CM Sangma stated that the boundary dispute has been lingering for a long time and that the NDA administration has been firm in its determination to address the matter.
“There is no reason why the people in the border area have to continue suffering the way they have been, always living in fear that someone from Assam, from the administration, from the police, will come in to pick them up, and that some firing will occur,” the CM said,
Further, he added, “Therefore, the government has decided that we will move forward, and that is why today we are on the verge of signing this agreement for the first six locations.”
