Recently Assam has signed a historic agreement to resolve the 50-year-old pending boundary difference with which of the following States?

The correct answer is ‘ Meghalaya ’ Key Points Assam and Meghalaya governments have signed a historic agreement in the national capital, Delhi to resolve their 50-year-old pending boundary difference. The agreement was signed by the Chief Minister of Assam and Meghalaya in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the office of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The governments of Assam and Meghalaya had come up with a draft resolution to resolve their border disputes in six of the 12 “areas of difference” along the 884-km boundary. According to the proposed recommendations for the 36.79 square km of land, Assam will keep 18.51 square km and give the remaining 18.28 square km to Meghalaya. The long-standing land dispute was sparked in 1972 when Meghalaya was carved out of Assam. The border issues came as a result of different readings of the demarcation of boundaries in the initial agreement for the new state’s creation.
