Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJanuary 31, 2024

Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma Wednesday said Meghalaya and Assam will continue with the second phase of border talks to resolve the remaining six areas of difference.

Speaking to reporters, Sangma said, “We don’t know when the elections will be announced but our talks will continue as per our pace. Of course when elections are announced it will become a bit of an inconvenience for everybody but we will continue the process.”

Sangma informed that he had unofficially discussed the matter with the Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over breakfast last week.

“As you are aware these kinds of discussions need to take place at an official level and a lot also takes place at an unofficial level. There are times when he and myself we sit down and really trash out the issues so the process is continuous and formal meetings are the formal part of it but there are lots of informal discussions that…are taking place without formal meetings – so all those processes are continuing,” he added.
