Atul Bora: Assam Advances in Border Talks with Northeast States

In a major update from Guwahati, Assam Cabinet Minister Atul Bora revealed on Wednesday that the state has achieved notable success in addressing border conflicts with adjacent northeastern regions. As AGP chief, Bora underscored the NDA administration's commitment to swiftly settling these lingering disputes via constructive engagement. Assam's border woes have persisted for generations, disrupting lives in contested zones. Under CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's proactive leadership, formal talks were launched with counterparts from Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland. 'Post-election, Sarma reached out to every neighboring CM, advocating dialogue over confrontation,' Bora explained. Breakthrough pacts with Arunachal and Meghalaya have delineated key areas, while ongoing negotiations with Mizoram and Nagaland tackle recent flare-ups. The Nagaland case, tangled in court, poses challenges, yet Bora remains confident: 'Persistent communication will pave the way for amicable outcomes.' Bora affirmed the government's dedication to all-round growth in health, education, farming, and infrastructure. With public faith reaffirmed, the ruling alliance vows to deliver on promises, protect Assam's rights, and drive regional harmony. These developments signal a new era of cooperation in the Northeast.
