''The government has decided to set up nine border outposts in Lakhimpur district along the 158 km of border with Arunachal Pradesh. Border roads will also be developed,'' he said.

The government, he said, has chalked out a Rs 40 crore project to develop its border with neighbouring states.

The minister held a meeting with Lakhimpur deputy commissioner, superintendent of police and other senior officials of the district to discuss the recent alleged encroachments by people of Arunachal Pradesh on Assam's land which was later dismantled.
