Assam govt delegation to visit disputed border with Nagaland

An Assam government delegation would visit the disputed border with Nagaland tomorrow following reports that the neighbouring state has set up a sub-division inside Golaghat district of Assam.
The delegation would be headed by Agriculture Minister Atul Bora, an MLA of Bokakhat constituency in Golaghat district.
"Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has constituted a six-member delegation under the leadership of Agriculture Minister Atul Bora to visit Assam-Nagaland border to take stock of the latest situation there," an official release said.
The delegation would inspect the inter-state border tomorrow and submit a report to the chief minister, the release said here.
A section of the media here recently reported that Nagaland has set up a new sub-division in Golaghat district.

Assam and Nagaland share a 434 km long boundary and the border dispute dates back to 1963 when Nagaland was carved out of Assam's Naga Hills district.
Assam government had filed a suit on the issue under a provision of the Constitution nearly 28 years ago and it is still pending.
