The chief ministers of Assam and Nagaland held talks on the settlement of border disputes and agreed in-principle on oil exploration in the disputed areas for economic benefit.
The boundary problem between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh was resolved following the signing of an MoU by Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Arunachal Pradesh CM, Pema Khandu, in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday evening. Sarma also had a one-on-one discussion with his Nagaland counterpart Neiphiu Rio at the Assam House late Thursday evening to resolve the long-standing border row between the two neighbouring states.
