The United Naga Tribes Association of Border Areas (UNTABA) is organizing a “Peoples’ Dialogue” on August 9 on the contentious border issue between Assam and Nagaland, which it believes can only be resolved based on the historical perspective. The UNTABA stated that the present border issue between Nagaland and Assam is a “relic of historical injustices” starting from British colonial policy of divide and rule and the Indian Governments unwillingness to address the issue. Almost all the States of North East India have border disputes with each other having adverse effect on development, Look East Policy, and inter-communal harmony, thereby giving rise to ethnic strife and hostilities, it said. northeasttoday.in/news.php?news=assam-nagaland-border:-peoples-dialogue-on-august-9-
