Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma will meet his Assam counterpart, Himanta Biswa Sarma, shortly after the completion of the ADC elections to resume discussions on the ongoing border issue.

Sangma also shared that he recently spoke with Sarma, where they touched on various topics, including the long-awaited border meeting.

“We discussed several matters, and we both agreed that the meeting is overdue. He asked me to suggest possible dates, and we hope to arrange the meeting soon,” said Sangma.

The chief minister informed that the leaders of the two states will meet after the elections.

On the topic of alleged illegal encroachments from Assam, Sangma highlighted the importance of cooperation in development initiatives, especially those under central schemes.

“The approach is that any development under central schemes should be carried out by the respective state, benefiting the public. Any specific schemes being implemented must be done in coordination with the deputy commissioners,” he explained.

Sangma acknowledged that due to the vast territory and various stakeholders involved, situations may arise where some individuals act while others do not.

“These issues are being addressed by the deputy commissioners,” he added.

Reassuring the public, Sangma emphasized his personal involvement in resolving any concerns. “If any issues arise, people can directly contact me via phone, and the call will go straight to Assam’s CM. We have a robust communication system in place to prevent complications and minimize tensions in the region,” he said.

When asked about the ongoing dialogue between the two states, Sangma emphasised the importance of communication.

“We are discussing issues between two states, not two countries. These are two states within one nation, and it is only through dialogue that we can resolve matters. We share a good relationship with Assam and Delhi, which helps in addressing most of our concerns,” he noted.

Sangma also emphasised that while it’s important to remain firm on certain issues, an overly tough stance would not be effective.

“We cannot compromise on our core principles or allow decisions to be made without consulting us. While we will be firm on key issues, this doesn’t mean we need to speak harshly to achieve results. What matters is firmness, dialogue, and commitment,” he explained.

Acknowledging the complexity of the border dispute, which has persisted for more than 50 years, Sangma expressed optimism.

“This is a complicated issue with many challenges, and resolving it takes time. However, we have found a way forward, and with continued efforts, we hope to resolve most of the outstanding issues,” he said.

The second phase of talks to address the remaining six disputed areas along the Assam-Meghalaya border will begin shortly.
