Amid statewide protest over the Indo-bangla land deal, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for re inclusion of Assam in the treaty which was passed in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
In a letter, Gogoi told Modi that it would not only serve national and state interests but also help in finding a permanent solution to the long standing India-Bangladesh border disputes in the Assam.
According to Gogoi, it would also facilitate erection of fencing in undemarcated areas and help prevent illegal infiltration of foreigners, subversive elements and smuggling etc by sealing the porous border.
