Rajkumar Imo Singh said that Chief Minister N Biren Singh shared the intimation letter on the floor of the assembly.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday has asked the Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh governments to expedite the whole border fencing construction work by conducting survey and alignment of stretches along the Indo Myanmar border.
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh informed the Assembly about the development and also shared the letter of the MHA.
The letter stressed the need to expedite the preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPRs) for balance stretches of Arunachal Pradesh (480 km) and Manipur (243 km) on a priority basis so as to expedite the construction of fencing for strengthening the India-Myanmar border.
The MHA asked Chief Secretaries of Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur government to hold meetings and discussions with Assam Rifles, Border Roads Organisation and other concerned departments for finalising the locations or alignment of stretches along the India-Myanmar border for construction of fencing.
Taking to X, Rajkumar Imo Singh said, “In a major decision taken by the Central Government regarding the fencing of the Indo Myanmar border, Union Home Ministry has asked to expedite the whole border fencing construction work by conducting survey and alignment of stretches along the Indo Myanmar border, especially the Manipur stretch of 243Kms”.
Singh further said that Chief Minister N Biren Singh shared the intimation letter on the floor of the assembly.
“One may not be satisfied with all the measures of the Central Government to bring peace and normalcy in Manipur, but it has taken up important steps for the welfare of the indigenous people of the State by identifying illegal migrants in the State, removing FMR to stop free movements of people into our country, construct the border fencing to ensure illegal migrants/refugees do not come into our country and transferring few units of paramilitary forces which were becoming a major hurdle towards bringing peace in the State,” Singh added.
Four Northeastern states- Arunachal Pradesh (520KM) , Manipur (398 km), Nagaland (215 km) and Mizoram (510 km) have unfenced border with Myanmar.
