Months after announcing that the Free Movement Regime (FMR) along the Myanmar border has been entirely suspended, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has brought in fresh protocol to regulate the movement of people living within 10 kilometres on either side of the largely unfenced international border.
The MHA has introduced a new scheme allowing Myanmar residents near the border to enter Manipur with a border pass, amid stricter regulations.
India said on Friday that it is closely monitoring developments in Myanmar following reports of intensification of fighting between the junta and resistance forces and the capture of a military command in Rakhine state by the Arakan Army.

China and Myanmar's military are collaborating to establish a joint security firm aimed at safeguarding Chinese projects and workers.
