ITANAGAR, Feb 8: Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu has welcomed the Centre’s decision to junk the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between India and Myanmar.
“Gratitude to Hon PM, Shri @narendramodi Ji & Hon Home Min, Shri @AmitShah Ji, for their steadfast commitment to safeguard our borders. The decision to revoke Free Movement Regime (FMR) between India & Myanmar holds immense significance for our internal security and demographic integrity of the North Eastern States,” Khandu wrote on X.
This landmark decision signifies yet another important step in the ongoing efforts to address illegal immigration. This builds on the recent announcement by the Centre to fence the 1,643 km Indo-Myanmar border, Khandu said in another social media post.
