The Indian officials urged the
Myanmarese authorities to
release the two arrested In-

Acknowledging that the
two State natives were arrested for staying in Myanmar unlawfully after 4
pm, the Moreh ADC and the ASP appealed to the Myanmar au-

However, the
Myanmar authorities turned down the appeal while asking the In-
dian officials to seek the duo's release through the Indian Embassy.

subjected to, the Myanmarese authorities maintained that it could
not spell out the quantum of penalty as it is dealt by another depart-
ment.
