Centre urged to form boundary panel

By Staff reporter

GUWAHATI, Aug 13 � Meghalaya Chief Minister Dr Mukul Sangma met Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde in New Delhi on Sunday and urged him to expedite the constitution of a boundary commission to �re-examine and re-define the inter-State boundary between Meghalaya and Assam.�

Informing the Union Home Minister that a resolution adopted for this boundary commission in the Meghalaya Assembly was forwarded to the Ministry in April 2011, Dr Sangma said that �no feedback has been received from the Ministry of Home Affairs so far in the matter.�

In a letter that he handed over to the Union Home Minister, Dr Sangma said, �There have been serious differences between Assam and Meghalaya on the matter of inter-state boundary ever since the state of Meghalaya came into existence.�
