In an endeavor to bolster border security measures, India has embarked on a significant project to fence the entire 1643-kilometer-long Indo-Myanmar border. Home Minister Amit Shah made the announcement, underscoring the government’s commitment to fortifying national borders and enhancing surveillance capabilities.
End to Free Movement Regime: India’s decision to fence the entire border effectively terminates the Free Movement Regime, signaling a shift towards stricter border control policies.
Implementation Progress: Initial efforts have already commenced with a 10 km stretch of fencing completed in the Moreh region of Manipur. Pilot projects involving hybrid surveillance systems are also underway, with plans to fence 1 km stretches in Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur.
Upcoming Works: Approval has been granted for additional fencing works covering approximately 20 km in Manipur, with implementation scheduled to commence shortly.
