Meghalaya CM: Initiatives in Progress to Resolve Border Dispute with Assam
In a significant development, both states signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in March 2022, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah present in New Delhi, resulting in the resolution of issues in six areas.
During a recent assembly session, Chief Minister Sangma emphasized, “We are committed to finding a solution that ensures lasting peace. Today, we have officially signed an MoU to address six areas of contention.” He further highlighted that “some actions have already been initiated, and additional steps are forthcoming to tackle this issue.”
Negotiations continue for the remaining disputed areas, including Langpih in the West Khasi Hills and Blocks I & II in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district. Regional Coordination Committees from both states are engaged in discussions to resolve differences and reach a mutually acceptable settlement.
The border dispute between Meghalaya and Assam dates back to 1972 when Meghalaya was established as a separate state from Assam. Since then, claims over certain territories have led to frequent tensions, protests, and occasional violent incidents. The six areas covered in the 2022 agreement are part of a broader initiative to foster stability and peace in the region.
Chief Minister Sangma assured that, in addition to resolving border issues, the government is also focused on enhancing infrastructure in the settled areas. He added that the negotiation process is progressing positively, stating, “These issues are complex, but dialogue is the key to finding resolutions.”
Moreover, Sangma indicated that the government is actively addressing land registration concerns to ensure clarity and legal recognition for residents in the contested areas.
