SILCHAR: Assam and Meghalaya officials will hold a key meeting today at Silchar over the ongoing border dispute between the northeastern states.

The two states, on October 5, conducted their maiden joint inspection of the interstate border areas to resolve the long-pending boundary dispute.

Assam minister Atul Bora and Meghalaya minister Renikton Lyngdoh Tongkhar led the cabinet-level committees of their respective states. “The motive of the visit was to see the ground reality. While no decision will be taken on the basis of this visit, the committees will submit their feedback to the respective chief ministers,”Tongkhar said.
