New Delhi: The Indian government has decided to fence the border with Myanmar in an effort to restrict free movement into India.
Speaking at the passing-out parade of Assam Police commandos in Guwahati, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that India’s border with Myanmar will soon be protected, like the border with Bangladesh.
“I want to tell my friends in Assam that the Narendra Modi government has decided to fence India’s open border along with Myanmar just like we have fenced the country’s border with Bangladesh,” Shah said.
“The government is also reconsidering India’s Free Movement Regime (FMG) agreement with Myanmar and will soon end the free movement into India,” the Home Minister added.
The Centre’s decision comes in the wake of nearly 600 Myanmar soldiers crossing over to India to escape ethnic clashes.
India shares a 1,643-km border with Myanmar, passing through north-east states Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh.
