North-East Frontier Agency
The North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) was an administrative division of north-eastern India, bordering Tibet, Bhutan and Burma, governed directly by the central government through the Governor of Assam. It formed the eastern theatre of the Sino-Indian War of 1962, when Chinese forces advanced towards the Assam plains before withdrawing. It became the union territory of Arunachal Pradesh in 1972 and a state in 1987.
