Itanagar, Feb 10 (UNI) In a significant step towards resolving the long-standing inter-state boundary row between Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, the process of erecting boundary pillars between Pakke Kessang district of Arunachal Pradesh and Biswanath district of Assam formally commenced on Monday.
Arunachal Pradesh Health Minister and Pakke Kessang MLA Biyuram Wahge described the occasion as historic, noting that the boundary pillar erection has begun for the first time with the active participation of officials from both states.
