Guwahati: The Konyak Union and All Tai Ahom Students’ Union are taking control of their own borders. They met in Sivasagar, Assam, on August 22 to cut out third-party interference. The two groups intend to handle all bilateral friction through direct, face-to-face talks. They want no outsiders involved.
The organizations established a formal Peace Committee to stop misunderstandings before they start. This body will keep channels open and resolve disputes with mutual respect. KU Press and Media Secretary Kaibo Konyak said the groups agreed that "any border-related matter or other issue between the two communities would be addressed directly by the Konyak Union and ATASU."
Disaster relief is now a priority. Both unions sounded the alarm on recent floods and landslides hitting Mon district in Nagaland and parts of Assam. They demand the Assam and Nagaland governments fund scientific, technical assessments to find out why these disasters happen. The groups want long-term planning and better environmental management to lower future risks.
Representatives from the ATASU Sivasagar and Charaideo district committees, their women’s councils, and the Konyak Union headquarters in Mon attended the session. The Konyak Students’ Union and Konyak Mother Association, both based in Mon, also sent representatives to back the peace initiative.
