Defence News - After Pakistan and China, Myanmar Army intrudes into India
Still grappling with a season of incursions by Pakistan and China in Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh, India is now faced with the Myanmar Army intruding into Indian territory in Manipur's Chandel district.
Still grappling with a season of incursions by Pakistan and China in Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh, India is now faced with the Myanmar Army intruding into Indian territory in Manipur’s Chandel district.
Headlines Today can confirm that the Ministries of Home, Defence and External Affairs are aware of the situation and at various stages of dealing with it.
The area under question, about 5-km from the Moreh Police Station, falls under the 9 Assam Rifles unit, which reports to the Home Ministry.
The nub of the fresh territorial problems arises from a 10-km border fence on the Indo-Myanmar border in Chandel district.
According to Indian Army sources, the Myanmar Army’s 87 Light Infantry was found to be laying the groundwork for a platoon base camp at Holenphai, a frontier village that Myanmar claims is within their territory. Last week, the village chief Lalkholun Haokip was on an inspection round in the area when they chanced upon the Myanmar Army’s preparations.
Myanmar Army soldiers they saw working in the area refused to acknowledge questions, and asked the Indians to contact their seniors. The following day the IAS officer in the area Robert Kshetrimayum conducted a spot inspection.
The Commanding Officer of the Myanmar Army’s 87 Light Infantry met with the Indian officials, but refused to stop work claiming two things: one, the territory they were building the platoon base on was Myanmarese territory, and two, the instructions to build the camp had come from higher military authorities and therefore, it was not a local level decision that could be negotiated.
Sources say the CO also showed the Indian officials a detailed Myanmar map which depicted Holenphai village as falling within Myanmar territory.
Sources indicate that the 87 Light Infantry of the Myanmar Army and the 9 Assam Rifles are in touch over the issue, though construction work has not ceased at Holenphai village. The Assam Rifles unit has increases vigilance and patrolling in the area.
