CM level talks on border likely

SHILLONG: Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong has said a meeting at the chief minister’s level is imperative to find a solution to the Assam-Meghalaya boundary dispute.
Talking to media persons here on Monday, Tynsong said the state government has already decided to hold a meeting of the chief ministers after Conrad Sangma returns from Paris.
However, the state government has not sent any proposal to its counterpart in Assam, he informed.
Assam and Meghalaya share 12 areas of difference and trouble erupted time and again along the boundary causing inconvenience to border residents.
Recently, pressure groups had staged a sit-in demonstration in the city demanding that the government solve the issue.
