After the sacrifice of five Assam Rifles personnel on November 13, the army has increased its vigil along the Myanmar border. According to reports, the terrorists fled to Myanmar after the attack. The city of Moreh in Manipur, which shares a border of 398 km with Myanmar, is less than 50 meters away.
People living in Myanmar are seen on one side and Indians on the other. Kuki, Matiya, Bihari, Tamil, Marwari and Nepali live in Moreh. Here the India-Myanmar Friendship Gate has been built, through which people of Myanmar can come to this city without passport or visa. However, due to Corona, this gate has been closed for almost two years. Apart from this gate, there is also a bridge in the town itself, from where people of both the countries come and go.
The people of Moreh say that the bridge and the gate were about to open, but in the meantime our soldiers were attacked and the army again increased the strictness. However, even after the gate is closed, people from both sides are using it.

Moreh people go to myanmar to buy cheap stuff
People of Moreh Town go to Myanmar to buy cheap stuff. The cost of scooty in India is 70 to 80 thousand rupees, the same scooty is available in Myanmar for 35 to 40 thousand rupees. Similarly, petrol costs Rs 100 to Rs 110 per liter in India and Rs 70 to Rs 80 per liter in Myanmar. Apart from scooty and petrol, fruits and clothes are also cheap in Myanmar.
People of Myanmar come daily to set up shop in Moreh
People from Myanmar come daily from 7 am to 8 am to set up shop in Moreh. The pucca shops here belong to Indians, but most of the shops in the street in front of them belong to Myanmarese people.
However, whenever tension increases on the border, it also affects this town. Strictness was too much for a day or two, but now something has become normal. We are not angry with the people of Myanmar.
Everything is being checked
The officer of Asal Rifles posted at the check post said that people from Myanmar come to Moreh. But the vehicles coming from there are strictly checked and documents are also checked. Terrorists often take refuge there. In such a situation, no one is being allowed to proceed without investigation. Here too the entry has been closed after 4 pm.
