On the other hand, Assam Minister Atul Bora is expected to lead the Assam team.
The three districts of Mizoram- Aizawl, Mamit and Kolasib share a border of 164.6 km with the Assam districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi.
The border dispute between the two neighboring states is a long-awaited one, and resulted from two colonial boundaries established in 1875 and 1933.
Although Mizoram considers the Inner Line Reserve Forest notified in 1875 as a historical boundary, Assam accepted the Survey of India map of 1933 as a constitutional boundary.
