During the meeting held here last evening, Assam Chief Secretary P C Sarma proposed that both the states unanimously accept the existing boundary with Langpih in Assam.
But Ranjan Chatterjee, Chief Secretary of Meghalaya, asserted his state&aposs right over Langpih under the sixth schedule of the Constitution.
As the meeting failed to arrive at any conclusion, both sides decided to meet again to resolve the long-pending problem within a reasonable time-frame, the sources said.
Informing that both the governments agreed on carrying on developmental works in the disputed areas so that the people living there were not inconvenienced in any way, Chatterjee later said that any such work would be carried out with"prior information"and the consent of either sides.
The last meeting between the chief secretaries of the two states was held in November last at Byrnihat where both sides decided to maintain status quo on the disputed Langpih area.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Donkupar Roy and his Assam counterpart Tarun Gogoi had agreed to maintain status quo vis--vis the boundary dispute in June last year.
