Myanmar’s border with India seems quiet, but it is not. There is no tension on this border like the Pakistan border, but northeastern insurgent groups do not fail to take advantage of this open border. Assam Rifles (AR) Director General Lt Gen PC Nair recently said that northeast militants who have taken up arms in the name of regionalism and ethnicity are active along the Indo-Myanmar border. Almost all the extremist organizations including NSCN (Khaplang group), ULFA, KLO and Manipur rebels are based in Myanmar.
Earlier in February, Moreh Battalion of Assam Rifles recovered 6 IEDs including 6 in Moreh area of Manipur on Indo-Myanmar border. Earlier on the Indo-Myanmar border, Assam Rifles personnel seized over 200 IEDs weighing 282 kg during checking. The army foiled a major attack plot. Based on credible inputs, a search operation was launched by troops of the Assam Rifles near the Indo-Myanmar border in Kamjong district of East Manipur, adjacent to Myanmar.
