Aizawl: Concerned at the incidence of trans-border illegal activities, a top army General has urged tightening of vigil along Mizoram’s border with Myanmar, an official said on Monday.
Lt Gen Abhay Krishna, General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 3 corps, issued the directive to the para-military Assam Rifles guarding the India-Myanmar border, the official said. Gen Krishna assumed charge of his new command recently.
“General Abhay Krishna during his two-day visit to Mizoram met senior Assam Rifles officials and discussed about the strengthening of security along the India-Myanmar border along Mizoram,” a Mizoram home department official said.
“Gen Krishna gave strategic instructions to the para-military officials and troopers to check trans-border illegal activities,” the official added.
Mizoram, which shares a 510-km border with Myanmar and a 318-km frontier with Bangladesh, has become a corridor for arms and drugs smuggling.
