In what may be a major breakthrough for India on security front, neighbouring Myanmar has started identifying locations for setting up army cantonment in Myanmar-Naga Hills area to take control of its no man’s land treated as a safe sanctuary by insurgent groups for past several years.

Disclosing that military establishments of Myanmar has not only agreed to make their administrative presence felt, authoritative security sources in the home ministry told this newspaper that Myanmar has also agreed to start coordinated patrolling along the international border with India.

Pointing out that Myanmar did not have any administrative presence in Myanmar-Naga Hills so far, security sources said that India in a meeting with its counterpart in April proposed to increase their administrative presence in these areas. (Courtesy of deccanchronicle.com)
