Explanation

In February 2024, the Government of India officially decided to scrap the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between India and Myanmar. Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced this move to ensure the internal security of the country and to maintain the demographic structure of India's North Eastern States bordering Myanmar.

  • What was FMR? Established in 2018 as part of the Act East Policy, it allowed tribes living along the border to travel up to 16 km into either country without a visa using a border pass.
  • Reason for Scrapping: The decision was driven by concerns over illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and the movement of insurgent groups, particularly in light of the volatile security situation in Myanmar and ethnic violence in Manipur.
  • Border Fencing: Along with scrapping FMR, the government approved the fencing of the entire 1,643-km India-Myanmar border to strengthen national security and surveillance.
