The Modi government has started the process to build a fence along the largest stretch of the India-Myanmar border so far, covering a distance of 83 km in Arunachal Pradesh.
Currently, only 10 km of the India-Myanmar border is fenced near Moreh in Manipur, while fencing of another 20 km in Manipur has been recently completed. The latest project, spanning 83 km in Arunachal Pradesh, will be the largest border fencing project yet on the India-Myanmar border.
According to details obtained by CNN-NEWS18, this project will cover an 83-km stretch between Border Post (BP) Number 168 to BP-175 in Arunachal Pradesh.
The BRO last week asked the technical consultants to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) and feasibility study, and provide pre-construction activities for the erection of the fence and a track along the 83-km stretch of the Indo-Myanmar border in Arunachal Pradesh. The home ministry had also recently asked Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh to speed up the preparation of DPRs for fencing projects and expedite the construction of the fencing.
Arunachal Pradesh shares the longest boundary with Myanmar at nearly 520 km, followed by Mizoram at 510 km, Manipur at 398 km, and Nagaland at 215 km. The total Indian border with Myanmar is 1,643 km, which is mostly unfenced.
