On Saturday, Shah is slated to hold discussions on unsettled issues between the five states, including those related to boundaries and the completion of the eastern freight corridor.

Along with the CMs, chiefs of all central armed forces are also expected to attend the meeting, which was earlier scheduled for November 5, but got postponed due to Shah's unavailability at that time, owing to his other engagements.
