Truce Allows Farming to Resume Along Disputed Assam-Meghalaya Border

Residents along the disputed Assam-Meghalaya border resumed agricultural activities following a temporary administrative truce in the Tapat-Lapangap sector. The agreement permits alternating cultivation rights between communities, easing weeks of localized conflict. While temporary, this cooperative framework represents a crucial confidence-building measure towards resolving the longstanding eighty-five-kilometer inter-state boundary dispute persisting since Meghalaya's formation in nineteen seventy-two.
