Solution

Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, signed the “Namsai Declaration” – an agreement to reduce the number of disputed villages from 123 to 86. The 800-km-long inter-state border has been the site of many conflicts over the years. The two states would thrash out a resolution based on the agreement by September 15. As per the declaration, both the states will now constitute 12 regional committees, each for the 12 districts where there is a dispute. These committees will jointly verify the concerned villages and thereafter make recommendations to the respective state governments “keeping in view the historical perspective, administrative convenience, contiguity and people’s will”.
