The Centre has decided to demarcate the borders of the northeastern states through satellite imaging to settle inter-state border disputes that are often becoming a cause of concern and sometimes even leading to violence.
According to PTI, two senior government functionaries said the task has been given to the North Eastern Space Application Centre, which is a joint initiative of the Department of Space and the North Eastern Council.
The two officials told PTI that the Centre has no plans to order an inquiry by a neutral agency like the CBI into the recent fatal clashes along the Assam-Mizoram border but is trying to defuse the situation as early as possible in a peaceful manner.
