Mizoram: Mizo bodies appeal to PM to reconsider India–Myanmar border gencing

Aizawl, Jan 18 (UNI) The Zo Re-unification Organisation (ZORO) and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), the apex Mizo student body, have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reconsider the proposed border fencing along the India–Myanmar frontier and to initiate meaningful consultations with affected communities and their representative organisations.
In a joint memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister through the Mizoram Governor, the two organisations called for a sensitive and inclusive review of the proposal, asserting that policy decisions concerning border management should safeguard national interest while also respecting the dignity, unity and cultural heritage of the Zo people.
