Leaders of opposition in State Legislature will also be part of the panel, according to a government resolution issued recently.


The border dispute between the states is an old row as Maharashtra claims Belgaum and a few other border areas, which are currently part of Karnataka.


A case filed by the Maharashtra government is pending before the Supreme Court.
