Meanwhile, CoMSO chairman Robert June Kharjarin said that while the Government is taking all steps to ensure all the stakeholders are taken on board, another round of meet is must before a final call is taken.

Meghalaya deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said that things are progressing in the right manner. Besides the Meghalaya deputy chief minister added that once the dispute is resolved in the six areas in the first phase, necessary steps would be taken to resolve the issue in the remaining areas. Tynsong added that the border committees are likely to submit the reports by next week.
