Assam and Arunachal Pradesh signed the ‘Namsai Declaration’ in a step towards resolving their seven-decade old boundary dispute.
The declaration was signed at Namsai in Arunachal Pradesh following the third round of meetings on the issue between chief minister Pema Khandu and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The two states share an 804-km long boundary.
Though there was no dispute initially, over the years, allegations of residents of one state encroaching land on the other have led to disputes and violence.
A suit has been pending in Supreme Court since 1989 on the issue.
