Decade-long border disputes between states are being resolved. For us, the northeast, our border areas are not the last end but the gateways of security and prosperity. Security of the nation is ensured through here and trade with other nations passes through here: PM Modi.

In the last 8 years, several outfits left the path of violence and followed the path of peace. In coordination with the state governments, the situation is being continuously improved to see that there is no need for AFSPA in the northeast: PM Narendra Modi in Shillong.

Political parties that had governments for a long time, had the mindset of 'divide' for NE. We have come with the mindset of 'divine'. Be it different communities, regions - we are removing all divisions. Not borders of disputes, we are building corridors of development in the North East: PM Modi 

Earlier, budget was allocated for the northeast but it didn't percolate. After PM Modi came to power, with several changes, budget has reached the villages today and can be seen converting into actual work. This is a major achievement: Union HM Amit Shah, in Shillong.
