Nagaland-Assam border unrest
Kohima: To ensure time-tested friendship between the people of Assam and Nagaland, a district-level meeting between Mokokchung and Jorhat districts headed by DCs and SPs were held to maintain peace and tranquility.
According to official sources on Friday, the meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner Mokokchung Murohu Chotso shared their concern areas and action taken by both the sides to maintain peace in the border areas of the two districts and decided that district level meeting will be held more frequently to maintain status quo in the border areas until an acceptable and a permanent solution to border disputes is made.
The DC of Jorhat (Assam), Solanki Vishal in his address stressed on the need to engage in confidence building measures to enable people in the border to live peacefully.
“We officers often get transferred, we will not be always DCs and Superintendents of Police (SP), but our people permanently live in the border and there is a need to educate our people to let them understand that they are neighbours and they have to live as neighbours always” DC Jorhat said adding cultural programmes and sports should be organised allowing people in the border areas to participate in such exchange programmes.
He further said, ‘we together (DCs/SPs) officers in the district can make a difference on the ground’ by holding more meetings.
SP of Jorhat, Sanjukta Parasor briefed the officers in the meeting about the measures taken to ensure peace tranquillity in the border.
She also expressed gratitude to district administration and police of Wokha district for their cooperation. (UNI)
