Manipur Governor Reviews Progress of Rs 31,000-Crore Indo-Myanmar Border Fencing Project
Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla reviewed the progress of the Rs 31,000-crore Indo-Myanmar border fencing project, covering 1,643 km across four northeastern states. The Border Roads Organisation is constructing the fence, with about 9.2 km completed near Moreh in Manipur. The project aims to replace the Free Movement Regime with regulated crossings and biometric checks. Some border stretches remain unresolved due to legal and physical challenges. Officials from multiple agencies and districts participated in the review meeting to discuss timely completion and security measures.
