India Today
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday that talks on the six remaining disputed areas along the Assam-Meghalaya border are likely to happen by June-July.
Days after inking an agreement for sorting out disputes in six out of 12 locations along the state’s border with Meghalaya, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday that a discussion on the remaining areas would be initiated by June-July.
Sarma, who was in Meghalaya to attend the passing-out parade of North Eastern Police Academy’s (NEPA) trainee officers, also stated that it was not possible to satisfy all stakeholders with the decisions made, but the greater good had to be taken into consideration.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the programme here, Sarma said, “We are planning to start a discussion to find a solution for the six remaining points of dispute by June or July.”

He also indicated there was no chance of revisiting the agreement that had been inked.
“Everyone cannot be made happy, we should ensure the nation is happy,” Sarma said.
