NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday announced that the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between India and Myanmar will be scrapped.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided that the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between India and Myanmar be scrapped to ensure the internal security of the country and to maintain the demographic structure of India’s North Eastern States bordering Myanmar,” said Amit Shah in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Shah also added, “It is Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s resolve to secure our borders.”
The home minister on Tuesday had announced that India will fence the entire 1,643-km-long India-Myanmar border. The move to fence the border has been a persistent demand from Meitei groups based in the Imphal Valley. These groups have raised concerns about tribal militants infiltrating India through the porous border and have also alleged the smuggling of narcotics due to the unfenced international boundary.
