Assam Sets 2‑Month Deadline to Resolve Arunachal Border Row, Explores Land Alternatives

Assam has set a two‑month deadline for resolving the border dispute with Arunachal Pradesh. The deadline follows months of standoffs over the demarcation of the Assam‑Arunachal border. The Assam government has announced that it will explore land alternatives as part of the settlement process. Officials say the alternatives aim to provide compensation and mitigate the impact on local communities. Arunachal Pradesh officials have not yet responded to the deadline. The central government has urged both states to engage in dialogue to avoid escalation. The border dispute has been a long‑standing issue, with both states claiming overlapping territories. The two‑month window is seen as a critical step toward a negotiated solution.
