Shillong : Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said there is no friction between Assam and Meghalaya, asserting that communication between the leadership of the two neighbouring states remains open and continuous.
Speaking to reporters, Sarma said there is no need to wait for a formal chief minister-level meeting on the interstate boundary issue as discussions are taking place regularly.
“I keep on meeting the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister, 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,” he said.
Responding to questions on reports of recurring tensions along the Assam-Meghalaya border, the Assam Chief Minister dismissed concerns and maintained that the situation remains peaceful.
“I don’t think so… everything is smooth,” Sarma said.
His remarks come as both Assam and Meghalaya continue to engage in dialogue to resolve the long-pending interstate boundary dispute through mutual consultation and cooperation.
