Mama Natung Calls for Rapid Joint Field Visits to Resolve Assam Border Dispute

The border dispute that has long troubled the northeastern state of Assam has once again come to the forefront of political discourse.

Senior political leader Mama Natung has publicly urged twelve panels—likely comprising government and local representatives—to expedite joint field visits that could clarify disputed areas and pave the way for a settlement.

The call comes amid growing concerns that delays in on‑ground assessments are prolonging tensions between Assam and neighboring regions.

If the panels act swiftly, the visits could provide fresh data for negotiations and potentially bring the dispute closer to resolution.
