The Centre has decided to demarcate boundaries of the North-eastern states through satellite imaging to settle inter-state border disputes, which are often becoming a cause of concern and sometimes even leading to violence.

Two senior government functionaries said the task has been given to the North Eastern Space Application Centre (NESAC), a joint initiative of the Department of Space (DoS) and the North Eastern Council (NEC).
