“Both the committees will be meeting here this August 26 as we prepare to go to ground zero and meet the people in the area,” the Social Welfare Minister told media persons.

The regional committees of the two states had jointly agreed to visit Langpih in Meghalaya’s West Khasi Hills district to meet stakeholders, local representatives and residents before finalising the interstate border during the last meeting in Guwahati.

Paul Lyngdoh heads one of the three regional committees from Meghalaya. Assam and Meghalaya had signed an MoU in Delhi in March last year to formally resolve interstate disputes in six areas of differences between the two neighbouring states.
