The Indian government has finished fencing 55 kilometres of the 398‑kilometre Manipur‑Myanmar border, with a target to complete the entire project by 2028.
The Ministry of Home Affairs announced that 55 kilometres of fencing has been installed along the Manipur‑Myanmar border, a segment of the 398‑kilometre frontier. The work is part of a larger initiative to secure the northeastern border and curb illegal crossings. Officials said the fencing is expected to be fully completed by 2028, with additional phases planned to cover the remaining stretch. The project aims to enhance surveillance and reduce smuggling and infiltration in the region.
The fencing work was carried out in coordination with local authorities and security agencies. It includes the installation of barriers, watch posts, and monitoring equipment to improve border management. The government highlighted that the initiative is a step towards strengthening national security and safeguarding the local population.
The completion of this segment marks a significant milestone in the ongoing border fortification efforts. The authorities will continue to monitor progress and adjust timelines as necessary to meet the 2028 deadline.
