ITANAGAR: In a significant step towards resolving the long-pending inter-state boundary dispute, the first border pillar along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border was erected at Seijosa, officials said.
The installation of the border pillar was closely monitored by officials from both states on Sunday to ensure accuracy and mutual agreement on the ground.
Among those present during the erection of the pillar were the Deputy Commissioner of Arunachal Pradesh's Pakke Kessang district, Beni Lego; and Deputy Commisioner of Assam's Biswanath district, Munindra Nath Ngatey; senior police officials, community leaders, and village heads.
The border pillar has been installed in accordance with the Namsai Declaration, signed in July 2022, which laid the foundation for resolving the decades-old boundary dispute along the 804-km inter-state border between the two Northeastern states.
