Tribal group in Manipur against the border fence between India-Myanmar decided to disagree with Central Government's decision
People living on either side of the border can enter each other's territory up to 16 km away without a visa thanks to free movement rules. The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum decided to protest against the Center's plan to build a fence along the India-Myanmar border and revoke the free movement regime, according to a statement released by the TLF.
A tribal group from the Churachandpur district of Manipur has said that it will demonstrate against the Centre's plan to build fencing along the border between Myanmar and India.
According to an ITLF statement, on Saturday, the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum protested against the Center's plan to build a fence along the India-Myanmar border and end the free movement regime by holding a public consultation in the district headquarters town. So, it was decided to do.
People living on either side of the border can enter each other's territory up to 16 km away without a visa thanks to free movement rules. Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram are the four Indian states that border Myanmar by 1,643 kilometres. ITLF has also decided to approach the Mizoram government for the political future of the 'Kuki Zo' people, the statement said.
