As part of taking up security measures in connection with the ensuing 17th Lok Sabha election, all routes at the border areas of Moreh, except for Indo-Myanmar gate no 1 and 2, have been sealed while necessary security steps are taken up as well.
Although there is no restriction at the Indo-Myanmar gate no 1 and 2, people were verified and checked for their identification card, reports our correspondent.
Personnel of 43 Assam Rifles took up the work of sealing the bordering areas and standing guard as there are no proper fencing at the bordering areas.
According to source, the border sealing work started at around 3 in the morning and will open only from April 12 after the Outer Manipur Parliamentary election.
