Assam-Nagaland border dispute: The decision was taken during the first meeting of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly select committee which was constituted in August to examine the border issue.
Nagaland wants an amicable settlement of the long standing inter-state border dispute with Assam and has entrusted its border affairs department to work out modalities for discussions with the government of the neighbouring state, an official said on Tuesday.
The decision was taken during the first meeting of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) select committee which was constituted in August to examine the border issue.
"The border dispute lies in the Supreme Court but we (Nagaland) are for settlement of the issue outside the court," advisor for Border affairs Mhathung Yanthan told reporters after coming out of the meeting.
"We had discussions on the background and genesis of the problem to understand the entire issue," he said about the meeting.
