Border dispute

SHILLONG: The Hynniewtrep Student Union (HSU) has hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his intervention into the unresolved age-old Assam-Mrghalaya boundary dispute.
HSU-central body president Kyrshan Rymbai in a statement said that the group had sought the PM’s intervention on the matter in February earlier this year in view of the failures on the part of the Congress led MUA-II government.
”The Prime Minister as per his letter Ref No PMOPG/D/2017/0098916 dated March 6, has assured that the Centre would take up the matter seriously in ensuring resolving the border dispute between the two states,” Rymbai said.
The Union warned that if the border problem is not solved, they would be boycott the upcoming 2018 state elections.
He said that the union had in the recent past urged the state government to take initiative to ensure that the long pending inter-state boundary dispute is resolved at the earliest but nothing was done till date.
It may be mentioned that the chief ministers Assam and Meghalaya are all set to meet on April 3, after a gap of nearly seven years to resume the border talks.
