Cabinet minister Paul Lyngdoh today said that ther delay to conduct spot inspection of the boundary along the Langpih sector was due to lack of response from the boundary committee of Assam.
“What is left of us is a single-day field visit to Langpih. I have contacted the chairman of Assam but we are yet to get a response,” he said.
Lyngdoh said three rounds of talks were held with the villages in that sector and the joint visit to Langpih to meet stakeholders, local representatives and residents is pending, before submitting the final reports to their respective chief ministers.
It may be mentioned that there are over 200 villages under Langpih sector out of which the bone of contention is in 54 villages.
While the majority of these 54 villages wanted to remain with Meghalaya, at least seven villages have expressed their willingness to be with Assam.
