Myanmar seeks satellite maps of NE rebel camps
Nagaland Post | New Delhi, Oct 16 (Agencies)
Taking a step towards closer security cooperation, Yangon has told New Delhi to provide satellite imagery of anti-India insurgent camps based across the border in Myanmar, so that a military operation can be launched. India has assured visiting Myanmar delegation led by President U Thein
Sein that it has no truck with Kachin Independent Army (KIA) anti-Burma rebels, and has kept options open to supply arms and gunboats to Yangon. Government sources said the Indian side led by national security advisor Shiv Shanker Menon raised concerns about presence of Northeast insurgent camps in Taga area across the Tirap-Changlang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, and the area across the border with Manipur.
While Taga has NSCN (K), PLA and ULFA rebel camps spread over 20-30 kilometres, PLA and UNLF rebels are based across the north and south of Moreh border in Manipur.
India has also proposed upgradation of army-to-army contacts on the border and wants corps commanders of both sides to meet twice a year. Currently, post commanders meet once a month and sector or division commanders meet four times a year with ministry of home affairs (MHA) officials meeting their Myanmar counterparts once in six months.
