Shillong – The Chief Minister of Meghalaya, Conrad Sangma, linked the recent border skirmishes to long‑standing unresolved issues and mutual misunderstandings. He emphasized that the clashes were not isolated incidents but reflected deeper friction along the state’s frontier with its neighbour. Sangma called for immediate dialogue between the concerned parties to defuse tensions and prevent further violence. The administration is reportedly coordinating with security agencies to restore calm while seeking a lasting settlement of the underlying disputes. No casualties were reported in the latest encounter, according to official sources.

The statement was made during a press briefing in the state capital, where Sangma urged both sides to engage constructively and avoid actions that could exacerbate the situation. He also highlighted the need for clear communication channels to address any future misunderstandings promptly.
