Himanta Biswa Sarma, Conrad Sangma held meeting to settle Assam-Meghala border dispute by December 30.

The interstate border dispute between Assam and Meghalaya will be settled in at least six areas by December 30, chief ministers of both states Tuesday said.

Addressing the press in Guwahati, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Meghalaya counterpart Conrad Sangma said that the special regional committees from both states would submit their reports on the six disputed sites by the end of the month.

The two chief ministers visited a disputed site at Langpih in Kamrup district earlier in the day.

"The committees will present reports before their respective state governments, which will then talk to the stakeholders. After that, a clear picture will emerge and a final statement will be issued," Sangma said.

Sarma further explained that the two states have formed three committees each to settle problems at six out of 12 disputed sites in Kamrup, Kamrup Metropolitan and Hailakandi districts.
