SHILLONG, JUL 9: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday downplayed concerns over border tensions with Meghalaya, asserting that communication between the two states remains constant and disputes are resolved amicably.
Responding to queries on when the next chief minister-level meeting on the boundary issue would be held, Sarma said there was no need for a formal waiting period as discussions are already happening regularly.
“I keep on meeting the CM and Deputy CM so the channel of discussion is always open. We keep on meeting and there is no friction. Whenever something happens, we resolve that immediately with the spirit of friendship,” Sarma told reporters.
On questions regarding frequent friction along the inter-state border, he said the situation was under control.
“I don’t think so…everything is smooth,” he added.
