Cops blame porous border for influx
The Telegraph | Khelen Thokchom | Imphal, Sept. 19:
However, the porous Manipur-Myanmar international border has made the task of police of detecting foreigners entering through the border trade town of Moreh in Chandel district difficult. The police had launched a verification campaign at Muslim Basti, near the Border Gate number 1 last week. Though there were reports that foreigners, mostly Myanmarese nationals, were staying at the border town, the campaign drew a blank.
“The border is porous and therefore it is very difficult for us to detect foreigners. In addition, the free movement of people of both sides for trading activities has made it almost impossible to detect illegal migrants entering and going ahead of Moreh,” a police officer said.
