India's northeastern village tense after Myanmar Army's 'intrusion'; residents stage protest

Fear has continued to grip border villages of northeastern Manipur state, a week after Myanmar Army's alleged intrusion into the Indian Territory.

Reportedly, Myanmar troops intruded Holenphai village of Tengnoupal district on March 04 and vandalized a saw mill, taking away all of its machines.

Panic-stricken residents of Lhangcham and Holenphai villages on Mar 10 staged protest against the alleged intrusion and demanded deployment of security forces.

India's northeastern states of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram share the international border with Myanmar.

Tengnoupal is the highest point of a road (NH-2) between Imphal and northwestern Myanmar.

Manipur, which neighbours Myanmar, is called the 'Jewel of India' for its paddy fields, lakes and green hills.

But it has been plagued for decades by a low-intensity war, blamed by authorities on rebels sheltering in Myanmar as well as a stream of drugs and guns seeping through the porous border.

India's policy-makers are loath to loosen the emergency shoot-to-kill powers imposed in 1958 in Manipur and other northeastern states for fear of giving oxygen to rebel movements in a region that also borders Bangladesh and China.

Although economic growth has been strong in recent years, the wealth is not felt on the streets and Manipur remains one of India's poorest states.

Educated young people are leaving to study in India's main cities and abroad and are not returning.

New Delhi should mediate between villagers & Myanmar Army.

Both Myanmar Army & Villagers are at fault.
There were several burglaries recently on Myanmar villages across the border for which Burmese blamed these villagers.

WTF. A shoot-to-kill policy since 1958? LOL! Is this sovereign Indian territory or a colony occupied by force?

So was this a surgical strike by the Myanmar army on India? How come this happened to a supa powa India?
 
And sucker say PAF bomb Pakistani civilians


So China can intrude into India.
Myanmar can intrude into India.
Pakistan's pigeons and camels intrude into India.

and this is a super power? LOL.

And why a shot to kill policy since 1958? That just sounds like occupation. Just like Indian Occupied Kashmir.
 
We never used fighter jets in Manipur.
LOL the Irony. Shoot to kill. Whil we shifted entire civilians and the bombed the shit out of terrorists. BY the way the intruders came, terrorized entire village and looted some factory.

Is it to do with Indian commando operation in myanmar sometime ago? The favour is being returned perhaps

Perhaps they know that the part can be lost easily, hence shoot them on sight. Treat them as non indian citizens

Indians always downplay what is happening in their Northeast. Shoot to kill since 1958 in a much touted and peddled secular democracy? LOL! And also, how come India's border guards are so inept that a tiny country like Myanmar can intrude and leave without any consequences?

Epic Fail.
This is dispute between villagers on both sides which lead to frequent burglaries on each other.

There is no shoot to kill orders in Manipur, there's only AFSPA.

Also India and Myanmar share a open border in most as there is no border dispute.

is that why the Myanmar Army came ? And raped your sovereignty and the villagers had to protest ?

Perhaps watching bollywood movies have made them clumsy and all. Or the lack of food is forcing them not to work ?

Apparently this is notthe first time.

When the armed forces of another country cross over the border and move back without any consequences, they have either got the most powerful army in the world or they have just intruded into a third world banana republic.

Border villagers on both sides are quarelling for years.
New Delhi is rightly neutral on this issue, we intervene only on major incidents such as in 2013 when we stopped Burmese army construction:
A senior Army official from the Kolkata-based Eastern Command said the dispute on the border village arose after the disappearance of three pillars demarcating the boundary between India and Myanmar.

However, he said the issue had been amicably resolved after a post-level meeting between the Myanmar and Indian Army near the village on August 26.

"The Myanmar Army agreed to stopped construction on their post and have ceased forest clearance activities," he said.

"We have very cordial relations with them all along the border."

Post level meetings are conducted on a regular basis between colonels or their second-in-commands of both armies.
