Congress legislator from Mawlai, PT Sawkmie has asked the state government of Meghalaya to clarify on the border agreement for resolving the six areas of difference shared with Assam.
In a statement issued today, Sawkmie said according to reports, it seems there is a "give and take policy which all of us are against in letter and spirit".
He said the report stated that out of 36.79 sq.kms, Meghalaya would receive 18.28 sq kms while Assam would gain 18.51 sq kms.
Stating that the issue is very serious, Sawkmie said, “The state government should clarify what is fact as we the people of Meghalaya don't know anything what the sealed envelop was reported except the fact revealed in the local newspaper.”
Meghalaya and Assam had recently submitted the final report on border agreement to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah for further actions on the matter.
