The Assam government has formally requested that the recent firing incident in Dhemaji be considered separate from the broader Arunachal Pradesh border dispute. In a statement, officials emphasized that the two matters should not be conflated in public discourse or policy decisions.
The state also urged the central authorities to lift the blockade that has been affecting transportation and trade in the region. The blockade has reportedly disrupted the movement of goods and people, impacting local economies.
