To stop an influx into Mizoram, Assam Rifles will increase security along the India-Myanmar border

Assam Rifles will enhance vigilance along the 510-km stretch of the India-Myanmar border in Mizoram in a bid to prevent the influx of illegal immigrants from the neighbouring country, officials said.

They also expressed concern over “rising number of crime incidents, including murder cases”, after Myanmarese people started taking shelter in the northeastern state following a military coup in the neighbouring country.
