\"Mizoram<\/div>\n
Large number of people took part in two rallies — organised by the Zo Re-Unification Organisation (ZORO<\/a>) — in Mizoram<\/a> on Thursday to protest the government’s decision to fence the India-Myanmar border<\/a> and scrap the Free Movement Regime<\/a> (FMR) between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The peaceful protest rallies<\/a> were held at Zokhawthar and Vaphai villages in Champhai district<\/a> bordering Myanmar.<\/p>\n

ZORO general secretary L. Ramdinliana Renthlei said that protesting the Centre’s decision to fence the India-Myanmar border and scrapping the FMR, thousands of men and women took part in the two rallies at Vaphai and Zokhawthar along Myanmar borders.<\/p>\n

He said that in view of the protest rallies, all government offices and schools in the two bordering villages remained closed on Thursday.
Mizoram shares a 510 km unfenced border with Myanmar’s Chin state and the indigenous Mizos share ethnic, cultural and linguistic ties with people belonging to the Chin-Zomi-Kuki community<\/a>.
The Mizoram government<\/a>, various ruling and opposition parties, civil society organisations including influential NGO Young Mizo Association<\/a> and student bodies have strongly opposed the Centre’s decision to fence the India-Myanmar border and lift the FMR as they believe that it would dissociate close contact between same ethnic communities<\/a> of the two countries.The Mizoram Assembly<\/a> had on February 28 adopted a unanimous resolution, opposing the Centre’s decision to fence the border and abolish the FMR.<\/div>\n
