Assam-mizoram Border Talks

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will now meet his Mizoram counterpart, Zoramthanga to hold another round of talks on the pending Assam-Mizoram border issue.

Mizoram and Assam will hold chief minister-level talks in New Delhi later this month or early September to find an amicable solution to the inter-state border dispute, according to an official statement issued here on Wednesday.

The Mizoram government has, for the first time, expressed regret over the death of six Assam policemen and the Assam government has said it will likely cancel an advisory warning against travel to the neighbouring state.

Assam and Mizoram will initiate talks today for the first time since the July 26 clash over border issue that left six Assam policemen dead and over 45 injured.

Three representatives from Mizoram -- Home Minister Lalchamliana, Land Revenue, and Settlement Minister Lalruatkima, and home department secretary Vanlalngaihsaka -- will be engaging in talks with delegates from Assam.

The boundary dispute with Assam will be resolved amicably through dialogue, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga said today after a telephonic discussion with Home Minister Amit Shah and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday had separate telephonic conversations with the Chief Ministers of Assam and Mizoram to resolve the stalemate between the two states over an inter-state border dispute.
