This was said after violent clashes between Assam and Mizoram were reported on July 26
Inter-State border disputes can "only" be resolved with the cooperation of State governments involved in the matter and the Centre just acts as a facilitator in such cases, the Union government informed Parliament on July 27. Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said this in a written statement to the Lok Sabha in response to a question on the role of the Union government in redressing border disputes between States in the country. "The approach of the central government has consistently been that inter-State disputes can be resolved only with the cooperation of the State governments concerned and that the central government acts only as a facilitator for amicable settlement of the dispute in the spirit of mutual understanding," Mr. Rai said.More Related News
