Guwahati: Assam and Mizoram governments, on Tuesday, signed a joint statement after a ministerial-level discussion held at Aizawl, Mizoram to take forward the process of resolution of the boundary dispute between the neighbouring states.
The meeting between the two delegations took place at the Aijal Club on Tuesday afternoon. According to the joint statement issued by the two states, both the sides agreed to maintain peace along the borders and meet at least once in two months.
Next meeting on Assam-Mizoram border dispute in October
"Both the states agreed that economic activities including cultivation and farming which have been practised by the people along the borders of the two states shall not be disturbed but allowed to continue regardless of the administrative control presently exercised by either state at such locations subject to Forest Regulations and after informing the Deputy Commissioners concerned," the statement read.
The two sides have now decided to hold high level delegation meeting at Guwahati in October this year. During the meeting, individual issues will be deliberated upon in detail. Previously, the two delegations had met in August 2021 in presence of Home Minister Amit Shah.
The two states had agreed to form panels to resolve the dispute through dialogue.
