Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma inked a pact to end the decades-old border dispute between the two states, and they agreed in principle on restricting the number of contested villages to 86 instead of 123. Of the 123 disputed villages, a consensus has been arrived on 37 and 86 others are left. Both states would constitute 12 Regional Committees each covering the 12 districts of Arunachal and counterpart districts of Assam for joint verification of 123 villages to make recommendations to respective State Governments. These regional committees would submit their first tranche of the report on the areas or any other areas where consensus has arrived, before September 15, 2022.
