Sangma and Home Minister, Lahkmen Rymbui near the CM’s official residence to condemn the failure of the Centre, Meghalaya Government and Assam Government to resolve the long pending border dispute.

Talking to reporters, Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) general secretary, Roy Kupar Synrem recalled that the Union Home Minister had stated during the NEC plenary session that the state governments and the Centre would make an effort to resolve all the boundary disputes between the different States particularly in the North Eastern region.
