NEW DELHI, 27 Jul:<\/strong> Inter-state border disputes can “only” be resolved with the cooperation of state governments involved in the matter and the Centre just acts as a facilitator in such cases, the Union government informed Parliament on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said this in a written statement to the Lok Sabha in response to a question on the role of the Union government in redressing border disputes between states in the country.<\/p>\n “The approach of the central government has consistently been that inter-state disputes can be resolved only with the cooperation of the state governments concerned and that the central government acts only as a facilitator for amicable settlement of the dispute in the spirit of mutual understanding,” Rai said.<\/p>\n He cited at least seven such disputes in the country with Assam being involved in four.<\/p>\n According to available information, there are boundary disputes arising out of demarcation of boundaries and claims and counter-claims over territories between Haryana-Himachal Pradesh, Union Territory of Ladakh-Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra-Karnataka, Assam-Arunachal Pradesh, Assam-Nagaland, Assam-Meghalaya and Assam-Mizoram, he said.<\/p>\n “Occasional protests and incidents of violence are reported from some of the disputed areas,” the minister said.<\/p>\n On Monday, at least five Assam Police personnel were killed while defending the “constitutional boundary” of the state with Mizoram as the festering border dispute between the two northeastern states erupted into a bloody conflict, officials said.<\/p>\n Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier claimed six police personnel were killed in action during the clashes.<\/p>\n An Assam government statement revised the figure just before midnight and said that five state police personnel died and more than 50 people of the force were injured.
