Nearly 600 Myanmar Army soldiers have entered India in the last three months. According to government sources, they sought refuge in Mizoram's Lawngtlai district after their camps were captured by Arakan Army (AA) militants, an ethnic armed group in Rakhine, Myanmar's western state.
India will end the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between the two countries by building a fence along the border. People living in border regions will soon need a visa to enter the other country.
The FMR was implemented in the 1970s because people living on the India-Myanmar border share familial and ethnic ties.
