Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said, “Some kind of peace has been brought to the Assam-Mizoram border as of now. Whatever happened in the past, we have allowed that to be buried.”
“Both state governments are now talking and definitely both sides will work for peace and tranquillity,” the Chief Minister said.
On border dispute with Meghalaya, Sarma said talks were on and he was hopeful about finding a solution to the problems soon. “Fighting over one or two village or one or two inch of land is meaningless. After all, the disputed land belongs to India only,” Sarma added.
