DIMAPUR — The long-standing boundary dispute between Zhavame village under Phek district and the Paodukhumai Clan of Tungjoy village under Senapati district, Manipur, has been resolved with the signing of a Boundary Agreement on October 14.
According to a release, the agreement was signed in the spirit of brotherhood and Christianity. The dispute, which had persisted for several decades and caused tensions and insecurity for both sides, was finally settled through mutual understanding and dialogue.
It was mentioned that to address the issue, a Joint Goodwill Mission representing both villages was formed during a meeting held on August 22, 2022, at PK Shedu Resort in Senapati.
"After a series of meetings, both the Parties realised the futility of prolonging the dispute, and mutually agreed to demarcate the boundary above the NH- 102 (A) that runs as: Starting from the point where the RCC pillar has been erected, moving upward in a straight line to the low-narrow area of the hill top range as shown by the RCC pillars from point to point; and thence, moving upward along the range in a straight line towards the pointed Rock, also known as Thrulü Müzho Jo'; and from there again, moving upward in a straight line till it reaches the common boundary Stone of Paodukhumai Clan, Tungjoy Veimai Clan and Zhavame Village located below the hill top.
