Guwahati, 24 May: Chief ministers of Assam and Meghalaya are scheduled to meet in Guwahati on Wednesday to discuss the second phase of border talks to resolve the issues of the remaining six areas after fourteen months of signing an MoU between the two states to resolve interstate border disputes in six “less complicated” areas.

The agreement was signed by the two CMs in the presence of the chief secretaries of both the states along other officials of the states and Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) officials.
MoU was inked between Assam and Meghalaya after Shah was presented with a drafting resolution for review on January 31 by the chief ministers of both states.
The two state governments had come up with the draft resolution to resolve the border disputes in six of the 12 disputed areas along the 884 kilometers inter-state boundary.
