Kohima: District officials from Karbi Anglong and Dimapur met at the Circuit House in Dimapur on July 23 to lock down a plan for border stability. The meeting included Karbi Anglong Deputy Commissioner Aranyak Saikia and various police brass from both states. They want faster communication.
Assam revenue officials brought piles of records to the table. They cited census documents, electoral rolls, and old boundary notifications to argue that disputed villages belong to Assam. Despite the conflicting land claims, both administrations agreed that keeping the peace takes top priority. They praised local police for preventing past flare-ups.
"Such cooperation has helped prevent escalation of disputes and ensured the safety and security of residents living along the border," officials noted.
To stop trouble before it starts, the group proposed a joint border monitoring committee. This body will pull in police, district officials, and village representatives to track activity and foster dialogue. The committee will hold the current status quo until higher authorities settle the land dispute for good. Everyone agreed that future trips to sensitive areas must be joint operations to keep things transparent. Both sides left the meeting committed to regular contact to preserve harmony.
