On 17th May , the Union government and the state government of Manipur told the Supreme Court that the genesis of the ethnic clashes in the state that resulted in over 70 Deaths was the crackdown on illegal Myanmar migrants’ illicit poppy cultivation and ‘ drug business’ in the hill districts. According to the NDTV :
Manipur : At least 2,518 have been arrested in the the past five years under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances ( NDPS ) Act, 1985 ,the Narcotics and Affairs of Border ( NAB ) .
And that is why drug cases are found in Manipur everyday . Apart from these media reports , Manipur’s DGP P Doungel ( Directed General of Police in Manipur . Also said in one press conference the ‘ Manipur victim of golden triangle’ I 238.72kg heroin seized , 2243 cases registered in 5 years .
illegal immigrants : In July 22–23 ,2023 border forces 718 including 301 children, had entered Manipur’s Chandel district on July 22 and 23 .Many of whom also had official Aadhar cards of India , Now the Question is how are illegal immigrants from Myanmar able to enter our India border?
The Answer is Free Movement Regime , Actually Manipur shares a 400-Kilometer border with Myanmar, most of which is unfenced. The India-Myanmar froniter is an_open border with a free movement regime ,which permits the tribes residing along the border to travel up to 16 kilometers across the boundary for up to three days without visa restrictions. This agreement was signed by India and Myanmar in the year 1949 so that even after independence, the drives of both the countries which were divided , could connect with each other harmoniously , but Now it is being misused.
