NEW DELHI: The government has refuted reports that boundary pillars on the India-Myanmar border in the
Manipur sector had been shifted.
Responding to media reports that
Myanmar had moved boundary pillars several kilometres inside India, the
MEA spokesperson dismissed them as “baseless and unsubstantiated”. “This sector of the international boundary is settled and there is no confusion as to its alignment,” MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.
“Routine survey work was carried out jointly by Indian and Myanmarese survey departments during which work on construction of subsidiary pillars in between already settled main boundary pillars 81 and 82 along zero line, that is, agreed and settled international boundary, has also been undertaken,” he said.
