Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi who called his Arunachal

office, agreed to meet soon to discuss various issue
confronting both the states including the decades old boundary

basic infrastructure in both states, sources said.
Tuki pointed that such meetings would foster harmony
between the two neighbouring states, sources added.
Addressing the Congress workers here yesterday, Tuki

that he would be holding the post till a new incumbent is
appointed.
In the evening a one point resolution was adopted in the
first CLP meeting held after Tuki assumed office as its
leader. The CLP members present in the meet unanimously
endorsed the decision of the AICC President and also expressed
full faith and unstinted support to Sonia Gandhi and Nabam
Tuki.
