Guwahati: A united front of the Karbi Students’ Association (KSA), Hamren Regional Committee (HRC), and the Socheng-Amreng Border Development Committee (SABDC) recently undertook a critical field visit to the Langchetok and Tapat areas, nestled along the volatile Assam-Meghalaya interstate border.
This urgent expedition was prompted by the recent obliteration of historical concrete boundary pillars, dating back to 1951, an act squarely laid at the feet of alleged miscreants emanating from Meghalaya’s Jaintia Hills District.
The influential delegation was spearheaded by Anthony Tisso, the dynamic General Secretary of KSA HRC, and Augustin Hanse, the astute Chairman of SABDC. They were ably supported by a strong contingent of key members, including Humson Teron and Raju Engti Kathar, both Assistant General Secretaries of KSA HRC; Boronxon Tokbi, Assistant Finance Secretary; James Rongphar, President of KSA Langhemphi Head Branch; Sona Sing Terang Rongchaicho, Secretary of KSA Hamren Head Branch; and Samsing Timung, Secretary of KSA Langhemphi Head Branch, demonstrating the broad representation and serious intent behind the visit.
During their extensive survey, the team meticulously inspected the damaged border pillars, unequivocally condemning the audacious act of vandalism. They branded it as a grave infringement on Assam’s territorial integrity, highlighting the serious implications of such an act. The organisations collectively implored both the Assam and Meghalaya governments to swiftly intervene and initiate the requisite measures to restore the crucial boundary demarcations, stressing the paramount importance of maintaining peace and stability in these historically sensitive border regions. Furthermore, the organisations underscored the non-negotiable importance of upholding historical and legal boundaries, vociferously demanding stringent action against all individuals found culpable for this destructive act.
