Arunachal CM Khandu vows to resolve Changlang boundary issue with Assam

Arunachal CM Khandu vows to resolve Changlang boundary issue with Assam

Itanagar, Mar 12 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu assured the State Assembly on Wednesday that his government will take up the vexed boundary dispute concerning the eastern Arunachal district of Changlang with the Assam government in coming days for an amicable solution.
Responding to a supplementary question raised by Nampong MLA Laisam Simai, Khandu revealed that Changlang was not included in the Supreme Court-constituted Local Boundary Commission report, as the district administration had failed to submit its report on time. This omission led to Changlang being excluded from the Namsai Declaration—a landmark agreement signed on July 15, 2022, by the Chief Ministers of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, wherein both the leaders agreed in-principle to reduce the number of disputed villages from 123 to 86.
The Chief Minister informed the House that he has already held multiple meetings with his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma regarding the issue. He assured that the Assam government has agreed to address the matter separately.
