Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the decision to fence the entire 1,643-km India-Myanmar border to enhance border security and end the Free Movement Regime. The Modi government aims to build impenetrable borders by constructing a fence and paving a patrol track for better surveillance. A 10-km stretch in Manipur is already fenced, with pilot projects underway in Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, and further approvals for fencing in Manipur.
