The assurance was made by Assam Chief Secretary N K Das during the Chief Secretary(CS) -level talks held yesterday at Guwahati.

"Assam will respond shortly to the 12 areas of difference in the interstate border of Assam and Meghalaya after which another CS-level meet will be held," Meghalaya Chief Secretary W M S Pariat told PTI here.

Pariat said that any claim made by either side beyond the constitutional boundary will have to be supported by documents and should be in black and white.

The high level talks has also decided that there should be a co-ordinated approach towards reducing tension in conflict areas including Langpih besides others.

The DGPs and other senior home officials of both the states participated in the talks besides the Deputy Commissioners of Kamrup and West Khasi Hills district.

On the skirmishes that erupted at Langpih, Khanduli and Khanapara recently, Pariat said he cannot rule out the involvement of vested interests on both sides of the border. more
