India Warns Myanmar After Airstrike Triggers Refugee Influx
Delhi/Hyderabad, Nov 14 (Maxim News): The Central Intelligence Agencies are keeping a close watch as the gunbattle in Myanmar triggered a fresh influx of refugees in Mizoram.
Around 5000 people from Myanmar have entered Mizoram following a fresh airstrike by the Myanmar army in the bordering areas along the Indo-Myanmar border.
A senior official confirmed that Mizoram police, along with central intelligence agencies, are keeping a close watch on the situation. The centre is trying to identify the exact number of Myanmar nationals who have crossed the border.
“Due to the difficult terrain of the Indo-Myanmar border, it is difficult to stop the influx completely. Assam Rifles Guard the borders but a stretch of around 150 km is very difficult because of its nature and other complexity, an official said.
The official added that “after the tension escalated in Myanmar, many Myanmar nationals entered the bordering district Champhai by crossing over the International Border. Few injured Myanmar Nationals are under treatment at the district hospital in Champhai.”
“Local authorities are in touch with these people and they have been assured that they will go back as the situation normalizes in Myanmar. We are keeping a close watch on the situation in Mizoram. The state was already on high alert due to the recently held elections,” the official informed. (Maxim News)
