Bengaluru, Feb. 6: In an attempt to seal the porous border, union home minister Amit Shah announced on Tuesday that the central government has decided to build a fence along the 1643-kilometre Indo-Myanmar border.
In addition to it, a special patrol is planned along the border to enhance surveillance.
In his post in X, Mr Shah has said “The Modi government is committed to building impenetrable borders. It has decided to construct a fence along the entire 1643-kilometer-long Indo-Myanmar border. To facilitate better surveillance, a patrol track along the border will also be paved.”
He added that the government has already fenced a 10 km stretch in Moreh, Manipur, out of the total border length. Additionally, there are two ongoing pilot projects involving fencing through a Hybrid Surveillance System. These projects will cover a stretch of 1 km each in Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur Surveillance.
