Mizoram Assembly passes resolution to oppose Myanmar border fencing

The Hindu  

GUWAHATI The 40-member Mizoram Assembly on Wednesday adopted a resolution against the Centre’s decision to fence the India-Myanmar border and scrap the Free Movement Regime agreement with the civil war-torn neighbouring country. Reconsider move In the resolution moved by Mizoram Home Minister K. Sapdanga, the Centre was urged to reconsider its decision and take steps instead to ensure the Zo ethnic people can live together without a fence dividing their ancestral land. The Minister said the Union government has not yet intimated the Mizoram government about its plan on erecting the border fence and suspending the FMR but the statements of Central Ministers make things apparent. Attributing the Centre’s move to the demands of the Manipur government after ethnic clashes between the dominant Meiteis and Kuki-Zomi people broke out in May 2023, Mr. Sapdanga said national security cannot be an excuse for fencing the border and scrapping the FMR.
