GUwahati, Assam Chief government minister Himanta Biswa Sarma met his Meghalaya vis-a-vis teodor josef konrad korzeniowski Sangma at his power hither on Saturday and held discussions on various issues. "Today, in Guwahati, I had an excellent discussion with the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Meghalaya Shri @SangmaConrad Ji," Sarma posted on X. "We discussed a wide gamut of issues to strengthen the mutual growth of both our sister states," he said. Sarma, however, did not elaborate on the issues discussed by the chief ministers of the two neighbouring states. The two CMs had last met on June 2 and agreed to erect border pillars in five among the six of the total 12 disputed areas, by Independence Day. The two states had signed an agreement in March 2022 to resolve the border dispute in six areas. Border pillars were decided to be constructed in five areas and not in the sixth at Pilingata as there were some "difference of interpretation", because of which the deputy commissioners of both the states were scheduled to discuss the matter. Meghalaya was carved out of Assam as a separate state in 1972 and it had challenged the Assam Reorganisation Act, 1971, leading to disputes in 12 areas of the 884.9-km-long border between the two states. Sarma, on becoming Assam's chief minister in May 2021, had announced that his priority was to resolve long-standing boundary disputes with the neighbouring states. Subsequently, three regional committees were set up in August 2021 to resolve the issues in a phased manner. The regional committees submitted their recommendations which were handed over to Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi by the two chief ministers, followed by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on March 29, 2022 to resolve disputes in six of the 12 areas. According to the agreement, 36.79 sq km of the disputed area was taken up for settlement in the first phase, with Assam getting full control of 18.51 sq km and Meghalaya 18.28 sq km of land.
