India to fence 1643-kilometre Indo-Myanmar border: Home Minister Amit Shah
Union Minister Amit Shah
In a significant move towards bolstering border security, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday announced that the Modi government is steadfast in its commitment to constructing an impenetrable fence along the entire 1643-kilometre-long Indo-Myanmar border. The project aims to fortify national security and curb illicit activities in the region, Shah said.
A patrol track along the border will also be paved for better surveillance of the border area.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared on Tuesday that the Modi government is committed to build an impenetrable barrier over the whole 1643-kilometre Indo-Myanmar border, which is a big step towards enhancing border security. According to Shah, the project's objectives are to strengthen national security and reduce illegal activity in the area.
A significant milestone has already been reached with the successful fencing of a 10-kilometre section in Moreh, Manipur, Amit Shah informed.
"In addition, two trial projects utilising hybrid surveillance systems (HSS) for fencing are now being carried out. They will fence one kilometre each in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh," he stated, adding that fence work totaling about 20 kilometres in Manipur has also been sanctioned and will shortly begin.
