Mizoram groups oppose Myanmar border fencing

Some groups in Mizoram, India, are worried about a plan to build a fence along the border with Myanmar.

They say this fence could separate families and communities that share the same culture, language, and history.

The groups wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, asking him to think again about the plan.

They also had a protest to show their concerns.

The groups believe that the fence could hurt the way people live and work, as many rely on trade and interactions across the border.

They also mentioned that India has agreed to protect the rights of indigenous people, which includes allowing them to maintain their connections across borders.

The groups suggest that there might be better ways to secure the border that don't cause these problems.
