Source / copyright: From Our Correspondent / The Telegraph Sections: Uncategorized Aizawl, Dec. 2: Mizoram People?s Conference party has refuted the state government?s stand that no official boundary dispute exists with Assam. A recent MPC executive meeting said despite the government having said Mizoram has no official boundary contradiction with Assam, the fact remains that there is a boundary disagreement since the Centre had not taken any advise from Mizoram leaders when the Northeast reorganisation took place. The MPC?s stand is that when Mizoram and other states were carved out of Assam in 1972, the first Mizoram Union territory government had sought a redressal on the lands demarcated as Mizoram, as this did not conform to territories previously believed to be under Mizoram?s jurisdiction. In a statement, the party said a boundary argument had arisen again in 1994 when Assam moved its southern boundaries to the edge of Vairengte village in north Mizoram. ?There was such a hue and cry at that time that the dispute reached the ears of central leaders, resulting in a meeting of Cachar district collector and Mizoram chief secretary at that time,? the statement said. The statement also added that it regretted the boundary commission?s omission of Mizoram?s dispute to be taken under its consideration. ?We demand that the state government take steps to see that Mizoram?s boundary dispute is put under the purview of the commission for consideration,? it added.  • Development funds for Assam (May 20, 2006): The Ministry of Rural Development has released Rs 74.52 lakh to Assam under Rajiv Gandhi Drinking Water Mission for implementation of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities in four districts namely, Cachar, Hailakand ...
