The second phase of the proposed border talks to settle the disagreements in the remaining six areas is expected to take place on Sunday in Guwahati when Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma meets with his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong made this revelation on Friday. On March 29, a memorandum of understanding for six “less complicated” disputed sectors was signed following the first round of negotiations.
We are dedicated to the success of the second stage of the interstate boundary dialogue, according to Tynsong.
The deputy chief minister denied claims that he and Sangma had accepted a sizable sum of money in exchange for agreeing to settle the first six points of contention by granting Assam a sizable portion of land. “People who make such claims should provide evidence since the state government knows what it is doing is for the interest of the people of Meghalaya,” he stated “.
As the chairman of one of the regional committees, Tynsong claimed that the state had benefited.
Using Maikhuli in the Ri-Bhoi district as an example, he claimed that only a small pond with a 30,000 square foot area was lost to the state.
But it’s unfortunate that some people are asserting that a sizable area of land, measuring several square kilometres, has been given away, Tynsong said.
He asserted that the National People’s Party desires a final resolution to the interstate boundary dispute.
