A village along the Golaghat-Wokha border remains without basic amenities, like electricity connection, as it is caught in a tug of war between Assam and Nagaland with both states claiming ownership over the land.
Some distance away, the last stretch of road connecting the two states depicts a picture of neglect, as it, too, is trapped in the border dispute between these two neighbours.
The village is inside the Nagaland Seed Farm premise, which is located in a disputed area in Merapani with Assam claiming the land to be under its Golaghat district and Nagaland, claiming it as part of the Wokha border.
