Talks between Meghalaya and Assam to resolve the remaining disputes along the interstate border will resume only after Assam’s elections, Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma said on Thursday. Sangma also announced an aggressive push to complete fencing along the Bangladesh border and consultations on an ILP-like law to curb illegal immigration.
The Meghalaya CM said the second phase of border talks, aimed at resolving six remaining areas of difference, has been delayed as the Assam government is currently preoccupied with election-related activities.
