The meeting attended by headmen, local leaders, villagers and public representatives sought resolution of the dispute about Langpih during the second phase of border talks with Assam, he said.

Pangniang also underscored the need for the talks to be based on mutually agreed principles – historical perspective, ethnicity of local population, contiguity with boundary, perception of people living, and administrative convenience.

He mentioned that people of Langpih sector had expressed their gratitude to chief minister Conrad K Sangma and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma on their historic joint visit to Langpih on 16 November 2022.

“The historic visit by the chief ministers of both states had shown the spirit of seriousness and commitment of both the states to settle the long-pending dispute,” he added.
