'Historical mistakes': Himanta flags delay in India-Bangladesh border fencing, says Assam Accord provisions implemented only in 2025

Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the effective implementation of the 1985 Assam Accord's border management provisions has only begun in 2025. He criticized the historical mistake of focusing fencing solely on Assam, leaving other border states open and facilitating illegal movement. Significant progress has now been made in fencing along Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, and West Bengal.
