Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, Union Home Secretary and senior officials from the Center and both the States were also present on the occasion. Assam and Arunachal Pradesh share an 804.1-km-long border.

 

The two states have been in discussions to resolve the border dispute with Sarma and Khandu signing the Namsai Declaration on July 15 last year wherein they had pledged to find a solution soon.

 

The PIB reported that Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that today’s agreement will prove to be a milestone in the direction of realizing Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s dream of a developed, peaceful and conflict-free Northeast.

 

Union Home Minister said that due to the efforts of the Modi government, all-round development is visible in the entire Northeast today and the entire region is on the path of progress.

 

Congratulating the people of both the states on behalf of the Government of India, Shah said that today’s agreement will prove to be auspicious for both the states and the northeast and will open new avenues of development.

 

Shah appreciated the efforts of Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma and Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Pema Khandu in resolving this long pending border dispute. He said that both the states formed a regional committee to settle the dispute, talked to the common people and worked to include everyone in this effort.

 

“Today’s agreement between the two states will end the dispute relating to 123 villages along the border has been done keeping in view the historical perspective, demographic profile, administrative convenience, proximity to the border and the aspirations of the residents,” the PIB report said.

 

Under the agreement, both the state governments have agreed that this agreement will be final with regards to these 123 disputed villages and neither of the States will make any new claim related to any area or village in future.

 

After the agreement, a detailed survey will be carried out by the Survey of India in the presence of representatives of both the state governments to determine the boundaries of both the states.
