Center to resolve the Assam Arunachal Border issue in coming months

The decades-old boundary dispute between Arunachal Pradesh and Assam would be resolved amicably soon with the one-man boundary commission constituted by Supreme Court working out modalities for the same, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said at Itanagar today.

“The one-man committee headed by Justice Tarun Chaterjee is looking after the issue and he is scheduled to convene a meeting with the chief ministers of both the states on June,” Chidambaram said during a press conference here.

He said, Centre last year sanctioned an amount of 154 crore to Arunachal Pradesh for development of areas along the inter-state boundary. “This year an amount of Rs 92 crore was sanctioned for the same,” he said.
