Amid Manipur unrest, govt to seal Myanmar border

The government decided to fence the entire 1,643-km Indo-Myanmar border, home minister Amit Shah said citing the Modi govt’s commitment to making the country’s borders “impenetrable”. Shah’s declaration, made on X, signals the imminent end of the free movement regime (FMR) with Myanmar, which allows tribes living along the border on either side visa-free travel up to 16km inside the neighbouring country.
