Itanagar: The Pradesh Government Arunachal ordered an investigation of fire exchanges between Assam Forest Officers and illegal tree loggers at boundaries between countries on Tuesday, officials said.
Illegal trees from Arunachal Pradesh and Assam Forest officers exchanged fire without 1 belbasti in the reserve forest Ranga, but no one was injured, according to officials at Assam’s Lakhimpur.
The Chuku Chuku Inspector General (Law and Command) said that he had directed the Papum Pare (SP) police supervisor to investigate the incident.
“We are not sure who shoots from our side.
Presumably, criminals do it to create a misunderstanding between the two neighboring countries,” what said.
Fire exchanges lasted less than 24 hours after senior officials from Lakhimpur and Pape Pare Regency met at UPIA in Arunachal Pradesh on Monday afternoon to discuss the boundary issues between countries.
The meeting adopted several resolutions such as together dealing with boundary problems between countries, involving local administration during a visit to locations near the limit and maintaining the status quo.
Last week, the Assam Forest Department served an eviction notification of 15 days to three villages in Kimin Circle, arousing hatred among various organizations in Arunachal Pradesh.
Minister of Home Arunachal Pradesh Bamang Felix said on Monday that the two countries did a massive exercise to resolve long-delayed limits.
“The problem of serving the eviction notification has been done seriously by the state government and various levels of talks has been going on.
The main secretary and police inspector (law and order) have also taken problems with their Assam’s colleagues,” he told a press conference.
Arunachal Pradesh, which was carved from Assam, was originally a union area before becoming a country in 1987.
Arunachal Pradesh and Assam shared a long limit of 804.1 km.
During the organization of the eastern state of the state, several wooded channels in the plains traditionally originated from the head of the Hill and the community unilaterally moved to Assam, Arunachal Pradesh argued.
After Arunachal Pradesh achieved a state, a designated tripartite committee which recommended that certain regions transferred from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh.
Assam opposed this and this problem was now delayed at the Supreme Court.
