During the visit, the delegation inspected the damaged border pillars and condemned the act of vandalism, calling it a serious infringement on Assam's territorial integrity.
The team urged both the Assam and Meghalaya governments to intervene immediately and take the necessary steps to restore the boundary demarcations and maintain peace in the sensitive border areas.
The organizations also emphasized the importance of upholding historical and legal boundaries and demanded strict action against those responsible for the destruction.
