ANSWER: Un-demarcated areas
 
  • The Land Boundary Agreement of 1974 between India and Bangladesh has been implemented in its entirety, except for three outstanding issues pertaining to (i) undemarcated land boundary of approximately 6.1 km in three sectors viz. Daikhata-56 (West Bengal), Muhuri River-Belonia (Tripura) and Lathitila-Dumabari (Assam).
  • Though the issue of the un-demarcated land boundary was addressed in the 1974 LBA, it could not be implemented due to differences of perception in the interpretation of the LBA and in view of the ground realities.
  • It has been addressed and implemented in 2015, under the 2011 Protocol to the LBA 1974.
