Breaking News: After China, Myanmar army enters Manipur,India for camping!

Read the article properly, India is constructing a border fence, which leaves some of the Indian land outside the fence. India has done the same on Pakistan border and Bangladesh border (makes logistical sense). The land lies outside the fence, but the BSF/Indian Army still controls it. The news of farmers getting shot at Bangladesh border arises out of the same issue. Bangladeshi farmers come to plant their crops in these Indian lands and when they don't pay heed to the warnings they get shot some times.

Myanmar troops were camping ten metres away from the international border post.

Times of India is known to sensationalize things.

Why you are fighting with ignorants.... thank to god... our country didn't allowed foreign countries to bomb own people... thank god... salala like incident didn't happen in India... otherwise stupids comes with ignorant comments... pathetic people...

The Indian attempts at denial and whitewashing are amusing.

And your cherry picking is quite pathetic. Try to keep up think tank.

Several voluntary organisations and political parties have been demanding the suspension of the work on erecting the border fence as it will deprive Manipur of large chunks of land. Most of the 14 tribal villages in Chandel will be affected. The whole village of Choro in Ukhrul district will fall to Myanmar once the fence is built.

India is building a fence on the border. As has been the norm, India is building the fence on its own land, 10m inside its own territory. International law says that no construction should be done within 10m of the "Zero line". Since its technically not possible to construct the fence in a straight line, sometimes more than 10 m of Indian land lies outside the fence, however its still Indian territory.

Now the problem problem here is that, Myanmar is constructing the camp 10m away from the border, considering the land outside the border fence as its own.

This is a non issue and it will be sorted out amicably. The local villagers are blowing it out of proportion, cause they fear that land on the other side of the fence is as good as India ceding the land to Myanmar, which is not the case as we know from the examples from the Indian border with Pakistan and India.

Imphal, August 08, 2013: Reacting to the news report on the reported loss of land of Manipur to Myanmar on account of the ongoing border fencing along Indo-Myanmar International boundary at Moreh, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, has asserted that the claim of losing 13 villages of Manipur if the construction of fencing continues, has been written and published without checking full details on international practices and the ground level facts as maintained along Indo-Bangladesh and Indo-Pak International Borders and the LoC.

In a statement issued by the Addl. Director General (Media) & PIB, Imphal, the Ministry of Home Affairs set the record straight by detailing the relevant facts of border fencing.

The statement observed that as far as the State of Manipur is concerned, the Boundary Pillars 66, 76(This is the border pillar in question here), 78, 89 and 90 to 94 (9 Boundary Pillars) remain unsettled with Myanmar. Similarly, border pillars 79 and 81 cannot be settled as Pillar No.78 remains unsettled.

This was brought to the notice of the Myanmar authorities in a meeting held in Myanmar on 19 & 20 June 2013 and they were requested for early joint survey for settlement of these boundary pillars. But they are yet to revert back on this.

As far as fencing along the Indo-Bangladesh border is concerned, it has been made 150 yards away from the International Boundary, but at places where it was not possible to do so, the fencing has been done almost close to Zero Line with the consent of Bangladesh. A similar situation obtains along the International Border and LoC with Pakistan where the distance of the fence is sometimes much more than 150 mtrs.

This results in farms and sometime an entire village lying across the fence. In all such cases, gates are provided for the villagers to carry out their normal activities and the gates are opened at fixed hours in the morning and remain open till certain fixed hours in the evening.

The International Boundary remains inviolate as the Boundary Pillars are not touched, the statement explained.It went on to point out that International practice is that 10 metres across either side of the border is considered to be a 'no construction zone'.

In the case of the border with Myanmar, the policy of 10 metres of 'no construction zone' has been decided to be followed though contractors some time increase this distance for the convenience of construction.

However, instructions have been issued that as far as possible the construction of fencing shall not be before the 10 metres 'no construction zone'. It would be clear from above that without the settlement of the International Boundary along with Boundary Pillars referred to earlier, it is not possible to arrive at a definitive conclusion that a particular village or land is going to be lost.

For the benefit of readers, it is further clarified that the on-going fencing work is restricted to only 10 Kms for the present and no further work will be undertaken unless all the Boundary Pillars are finally settled through joint inspection by the National Survey Authorities of the 2 countries as well as the Survey & Settlement Officers and Staff of the State, the statement of the Ministry added.


With the twin objectives of checking drug smuggling and cross border movement of insurgents, border fencing works between border pillar numbers 79 and 81 covering a distance of 10 kilometres along Indo-Myanmar border near Moreh town was taken up by the Department of Border Management, Ministry of Home Affairs since last 10 years and has been a source of anger for the people of Manipur.

Incidentally, Manipur and Myanmar share 398-kilometre long international border.

It further mentioned that Myanmar lodged a protest about the location of zero point as the Government of India took up the border fencing works.

The people of Manipur would launch protests all over the State if the Central Government fails to review its decision of border fencing without proper demarcation of the international boundary.
 
And your cherry picking is quite pathetic. Try to keep up think tank.

Your frustration is ALWAYS amusing.

The people of Manipur don't matter jack.

What matters is the assertion by Myanmar that they consider that village to be part of Myanmar, and they sent their army to underscore that point.

You guys, of course, will try to spin it away and we will watch your attempts with amusement.

Small things amuse small minds, you get amused pretty easily eh?

Raise your standards I guess and answer the points I raised. Your "facts" are not facts, they are misconstrued, out of context tidbits. You should know that, aren't you the one always crying about media manipulation?
 
I guess this soft diplomatic approach is making us look soft. RAW need work out a strategy and create an example or two.

The frustration by some Indians is always amusing.

Regarding "facts", perhaps you should try reading your own quote again. India is willing to concede that the village may be in no man's land and the exact border needs to be worked out, but Myanmar has ignored India's requests.

Myanmar maintains that the village belongs to it.

As for the border pillars, of course, no one has claimed that the international border has officially changed. We are talking about Myanmar's claims.
 
This is a plausible effort from the armies of both the countries to settle the matter in through an amicable process.The pathetic attempt to make a big fuss out of it is mere appalling.

Of course it will be worked out. No one expects a war to break out between India and Myanmar.

We are just having a bit of fun.

Who is frustrated? If that delusion helps you in feeling happy/amused, then sure, we are happy to play along that we are somehow frustrated :cuckoo:

Do point out where in the article it says that!
