Imphal, December 09 2022:
Rajya Sabha MP and titular king of Manipur Leishemba Sanajaoba has brought up the issue of border dispute along Indo-Myanmar boundary in Manipur in the Parliament on Thursday while calling for early solution of the dispute and completing the border fencing work.
On the second day of the Parliament session on Thursday, Leishemba Sanajaoba placed the issue as special mention and told the House that the state is facing difficulties in curbing illegal drug smuggling and entry of illegal immigrants due to porous border with Myanmar.
The situation is rendering the state government's War on Drugs meaningless.
In order to give impetus to the War on Drugs and initiatives against illegal immigrants, completion of the border fencing is a must.
However, disputes over the boundary between the two countries are hampering the border fencing work, the MP pointed out, while drawing attention of the House towards the urgency of resolving the border dispute to facilitate early completion of the fencing work.
