While successive Mizoram governments and various civil societies have strongly opposed the proposed fencing of the 404-km Mizoram-Myanmar international border, the Young Lai Association (YLA), the largest civil society in Mizoram’s Southern district of Lawngtlai expressed their support for fencing of the Mizoram’s Indo-Myanmar border on Friday.
The associations extended their support to the centre’s proposal during a meeting with the Joint Secretary of Ministry of External Affairs B. Shyam, who is currently on a visit to Aizawl.
The YLA emphasised the immediate need for fencing of the border, citing the situation in the border areas as a cause for concern.
They also added that if the border between Mizoram and Myanmar is faced, they hope that it will reduce smuggling activities and reduce crime rates inside Mizoram.
The YLA further highlighted that fencing the border with Myanmar will not hamper any legal travelling as there will be check gates; and added that it will not affect migratory animals as there is proposed area for their movements.
During the meeting with the MEA Joint Secretary, the YLA conveyed their support for India’s Act East Policy and discussed the ongoing development of the Kaladan Multi Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP).
They extended the need to implement regular border trade at Zorinpui (Zochachhuah), and to establish immigration check posts and border commercial haats.
