State representatives from Assam and Mizoram will be meeting for another round of discussions in order to resolve the long-standing border conflict between the two states. The state ministers of both the northeast states will attend the meeting, which will start at 2:30 pm at the Aijal Club in Aizawl. The 164.6 km interstate border between the two northeastern states has had multiple flare-ups recently.
State Home Minister Lalchamliana will lead the Mizoram delegation, and Minister of Border Protection and Development Atul Bora will lead the Assam group. On Tuesday, the Assam delegation is anticipated to arrive in Aizawl around 10:45 am and depart for Guwahati the next day.
The long-running border dispute between Assam and Mizoram is primarily the result of two British demarcations in 1875 and 1933.
