GUWAHATI: Miffed at the continuous trend of border flare-ups and recurring tension over the years, Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) has said that the state’s boundary dispute with Assam cannot be solved without the intervention of the central government.

“The Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government led by Conrad Sangma must know that the inter-state boundary dispute cannot be solved without the intervention of the central government, since Article 3 of the Constitution of India clearly states that only Parliament has the authority over the inter-state boundary,” Thomas Passah, spokesperson, KHNAM central executive committee, told The Shillong Times on Tuesday.

Passah said the state government in its election campaign in 2018 had clearly announced that the settlement of inter-state boundary would be its top priority.

“But the government has proved that the hardship of the border villages and underdeveloped conditions of these villages is just a political agenda for them,” he said.

The KHNAM leader further said every time there is violation of status quo, it is a fact that the villagers become the victims and their rights infringed upon.

The regional party expressed concern over the tension at Umwali in the Langpih area and hoped that the Centre intervened to find out a solution by holding talks with governments of both the states.
