Moreh, March 21 2010: Two big stones believed to have been once border pillars between India and Myanmar and a temple that was built by the Tamil migrants on Manipur's territory nearly three decades ago are at present found lying on what is considered to be the soil of Myanmar far beyond the boundary.

According to reports, the BSF had come to Moreh in the year 1972 .

In 1983, the then Assistant Commandant of BSF, Moreh had erected border fencing with barbed wires on the Indian side of soil in Moreh areas without the knowledge of the departments concerned.

The living examples of that haphazard job of erecting the so-called border fencing are the two stones which are believed to have been border pillars and one Hindu temple lying on the territory of Myanmar at present.

The temple can still be seen standing deserted on the side of Myanmar's territory much beyond the present so-called border, and just about 100 mts north of the Hindu temple, one stone which once used to be a border pillar is found lying on a place presently within the borders of Myanmar.

As per reports culled from elderly persons of Moreh, that the place where the fallen border pillars and the standing Hindu temple are found used to be land of Manipur within the border of India.

Meanwhile, president of Tamil Sangam, Moreh, V Sekhar who is also president of Border Trade Chamber of Commerce and secretary of Shri Angala Parameshwori Sri Muneeswarar Temple Development Committee, has reiterated that he would fight legally any attempt of the government, whether of the state or the Centre, to give away the land, where the temple is located at present, to Myanmar.

Ealier, V Sekhar had drawn the attention of the state and Central governments on any attempt either to give away the land of Manipur, where the only biggest and the most beautiful temple of South Indian Tamil community�Shri Angala Parameshwori Sri Muneeswarar temple in the whole of North Eastern region is located at present, or to relocate the temple elsewhere within the Indian border.

Sekhar today told media persons that the Government of Manipur has not issued any notice in this regard.
