No new UT, village to be carved out of Assam: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Guwahati: Rebutting media reports suggesting that a new Union Territory (UT) will be carved out of Assam as part of the ongoing talks leading to Bodo Accord, state finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said that there is no provision for the creation of a UT or any village.

The senior BJP leader said, “The Central government has clarified that they do not have any such proposal tabled with them. The accord will be undertaken to maintain the territorial integrity of Assam, and no new village or area added under this accord.”
