Village on border of Assam, Meghalaya votes in both states

IndiaTimes Sunday, 5 May 2024
Nearly 65 families in the village also hold voting rights in Meghalaya due to their proximity to the border. Living along the disputed Assam-Meghalaya border areas, these "dual voters" have been exercising their franchise in Assam for decades, even after the creation of Meghalaya in 1972. Assam govt provides them electricity and has built the main road, while Meghalaya govt offers job cards under MGNREGA, water supply, and assistance for agriculture, among other benefits.
