MANIPUR: CM’S REACTION OVER INDO-MYANMAR BORDER ISSUES

Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Indo-Myanmar border issues expressed that boundaries of the two countries are clearly demarcated in the old maps. The State and the Central Governments would not remain silent if any part of Manipur’s territory is lost while erecting border pillars. The Chief Minister had also stated that no piece of land would be compromised.

State Government representatives were also part of the joint survey team of border demarcation. However, some issues had cropped up on the location of a Border Pillar recently, he added. There is a need to refer to the old map showing boundaries of the two countries to sort the matter out, he added. The Chief Minister further said that BJP National president Shri Amit Shah had also been apprised about the matter during his visit.
