India News: Mizoram CM opposes proposed fencing, wants FMR. Protest planned on Feb 21. Leaders call for reconsideration. Dehumanising move, as per Bhadra Gogoi. D

The Mizoram NGO Coordination Committee (NGOCC) has requested the Indian government to reconsider its decision to fence the India-Myanmar border and suspend the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between the two countries. The NGOCC expressed concerns that these actions would disrupt ethnic and cultural connections between the Mizo communities on both sides of the border. The FMR allows people to travel within 16 km of each others territory without a visa.

Arambai Tenggol appreciated and welcomed Amit Shah’s announcement to scrap the FMR, noting that the announcement was made on the completion of 15 days after the Kangla declaration.
