GUWAHATI, OCT 4: The Assam government dismantled two temporary sheds built in a disputed area in Hailakandi district along the state’s border with Mizoram, following objections from the neighbouring state.

The labourers from Mizoram side illegally erected the sheds, during inspection work the official from Assam found the illegal sheds constructed in Assam land.

Both the government have met several times to resolve the border dispute between the two states but till date no solution has been comes out after the meeting.

“Some Mizoram officials objected to the sheds set up for labourers. We consulted with our seniors, who suggested dismantling of the structures for peace. The two sheds on the Assam side were razed to the ground on Monday, and the Mizoram authorities have been informed about the step,” said an official.

Assam’s Barak Valley districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi share a 164.6-km long border with Mizoram’s three districts of Aizawl, Kolasib and Mamit.

The long-standing border dispute between the two neighbouring states stems from two colonial demarcations of 1875 and 1933.

The 1875 notification differentiated Lushai Hills from the plains of Cachar, and another of 1933 demarcated a boundary between Lushai Hills and Manipur.

Both the chief minister’s met Union minister Amit Shah to resolve the long standing border dispute between Assam and Mizoram, which has been getting problematic day by day between two neighbouring states.
