Mizoram's Lawngtlai Tightens Surveillance on Illegal Immigrants

In the border district of Lawngtlai, Mizoram, authorities have decided to strengthen surveillance of illegal immigrants and regulate their business activities.

A meeting was held to review the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for managing illegal immigrants.

The meeting was attended by various government agencies, security forces, and local bodies.

They discussed the importance of maintaining peace and security and the need to regulate business activities of undocumented immigrants.

The district administration urged village councils and hotel owners to keep records of refugees and illegal immigrants and to not provide accommodation to undocumented persons.

This decision is part of a series of measures to tighten oversight of cross-border movement and trade along the Indo-Myanmar border.
