Assam and Meghalaya are locked in a border row over a remote village Lampih following the potential discovery of uranium in this tiny hamlet-Insaf Till date the southern states were infamous for boundary disputes. But this malaise seems to have spread to the north-east where Assam and Meghalaya are locked in a border row over a remote village Lampih following the potential discovery of uranium in this tiny hamlet. To ensure that Lampih remains with it, the Assam Government has dangled lots of carrots including a health centre and motorable roads for 3,200 villagers who have to travel for six hours on horseback to reach the nearest road. Across the border, the Meghalaya Chief Minister is not taking things lying down. He has lodged a protest with the Centre and threatened to use force if Assam encroaches on the area. The contentious village, 97 km from Guwahati is populated by Nepali, Garo and Khasis. While the Khasis hoot for Meghalaya, the Nepalis and Garos bat for Assam. In the fracas, the Uranium Corporation of India remains tight lipped.
