ITANAGAR, Nov 24: Amidst the boundary tension with Assam, Chief Minister Pema Khandu today informed that he will soon meet with the chief minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma and discuss on the ‘Out of court' settlement of the boundary issue.
Responding to query, Khandu termed the repeated intrusion on Arunachal land by Assam officials as unfortunate. "When both the state governments have decided to solve the boundary issue across the table, such acts like issuing eviction notices and obstruction should not have happened especially at the junior level. Every discussion should be at the DC level," Khandu said.
He also informed that the Chief Secretary has been advised to keep all the Deputy Commissioners on alert to avoid any untoward incidents related to the boundary issue.
Earlier, PRO-Arunachal Pradesh Police, Rohit  Rajbir Singh(IPS)  in a press statement informed that,  on 23rd November, some unknown villagers cut down 22 numbers of jutli trees that were standing at the border disputed area between Bello II, under Kimin subdivision and Assam.

Accordingly, OC PS Kimin along with ADC Kimin, RFO Kimin were asked to rush to the spot. Addl.PCCF Guwahati, DCF NLP, RFO Harmutty also visited the spot. Situation is under controlled as of now,added the press statement.
