imphaltimes.com — Fresh reports concerning the India-Myanmar border have revived longstanding concerns over the protection of Manipur’s territorial integrity, prompting renewed calls for greater transparency in the demarcation of the international boundary. The development has brought back memories of the 2018 border pillar controversy, extensively reported by Imphal Times, when residents of Kwatha Khunou in Tengnoupal district alleged that the proposed alignment of Border Pillar No. 81 would place nearly three kilometres of land claimed by villagers inside Myanmar. Reports published by Imphal Times on June 30, 2018 quoted local organisations, including the Communist Party of India (Manipur) and the Manipur People’s Task Committee (MPTC), alleging that the alignment would affect agricultural land, forests and ancestral village areas. Villagers also claimed that the proposed boundary did not correspond with historical records, customary village boundaries or traditional landmarks.
