Though the Centre decided to suspend the free movement regime (FMR) between India and Myanmar and fence the border between the two countries in the wake of the civil war in New Delhi’s eastern neighbour and the influx of refugees, massive protests in the northeastern states of Mizoram and Manipur, concerns raised by NGOs in Nagaland and resolutions passed in the assemblies of Aizawl and Kohima have stalled the process.

The officials informed that the Central government is mulling to terminate the Free Movement Regime (FMR) with Myanmar in an effort to curb the influx of illegal migrants and insurgents. As per FMR policy, those belonging to the hill tribes, being citizens of either India or Myanmar and residing within a 16 km radius on either side of the border, can cross with a border pass valid for one year, allowing a stay of up to two weeks per visit. We plan to terminate the FMR along the Indo-Myanmar border shortly.
