India to build 1,643 km long fence along Myanmar border

New Delhi – The Modi Government is committed to building impenetrable borders. It has decided to construct a fence along the entire 1,643 km long Indo-Myanmar border. To facilitate better surveillance, a patrol track along the border will also be paved. Out of the total border length, a 10 km stretch in Moreh, Manipur, has already been fenced. Furthermore, two pilot projects of fencing through a Hybrid Surveillance System (HSS) are under execution. They will fence a stretch of 1 km each in Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. Additionally, fence works covering approximately 20 km in Manipur have also been approved, and the work will start soon.

Editorial Perspective

The people also think that the Government should try to expel the Rohingyas from the country who have already infiltrated Myanmar.
