Since the turmoil in Myanmar, a large number of Burmese refugees have poured into the border areas of India, which has brought tremendous pressure to India. In order to control illegal immigration and maintain border security, India's Home Minister Amit Shah announced at an event that India will build a barrier along the India-Myanmar border and consider abolishing the "free movement regime" with Myanmar. This measure is aimed at restricting the entry of unauthorized persons into India.

Myanmar is located in the western part of India, and there are thousands of kilometers of border between the two countries. This border crosses several states in northeastern India, such as Mizoram and Manipur. Under the "free movement regime" implemented by India** since 2018, residents of border areas can travel freely up to 16 km from the border without a visa. However, as the situation in Myanmar became unstable, a large number of Burmese people poured into India and sought refuge in Mizoram. Currently, about 30,000 Myanmar refugees are stranded in Mizoram.

In order to maintain the security of the border area, India has decided to build a barrier on the India-Myanmar border, similar to the double fence that already exists on the border between India and Bangladesh. This move will restrict the free entry of people from Myanmar into India. India's Home Minister Amit Shah said India** is reconsidering the "free movement regime" agreement with Myanmar and expects to end the status quo of free entry of Myanmar people into India soon.

Frequent conflicts in Myanmar in recent years have led to large numbers of people crossing the border into neighbouring countries in search of asylum. The most recent clashes were an attack on military forces in northern Myanmar in October last year by the Kokang Allied Army, together with the De'ang National Liberation Army, the Arakan Army, the Kachin Independence Army and other ethnic groups. The conflict, known as Operation 1027, quickly escalated, resulting in many civilians becoming victims. In addition, new fighting has broken out in Rakhine and Chin states in western Myanmar.

These conflicts have caused large numbers of Myanmar people to flee their homes and seek safety in neighbouring countries. As a neighbor of Myanmar, India has naturally become the preferred destination for a large number of Burmese refugees. However, this also poses a huge challenge for India's border areas. Faced with population boom and border security concerns, India** has had to take steps to restrict the free entry of the people of Myanmar.

India** decided to build border barriers to better control border security, limit the influx of illegal immigrants, and prevent rebel groups from abusing the "free movement regime" to launch attacks on India's border areas. The construction of barriers can create a physical barrier that effectively prevents unauthorized persons from entering India.

In addition, the construction of border barriers has also helped to improve the management and development of border areas. Border areas often face special socio-economic problems, including poverty and inadequate medical resources. Building barriers can help India** better manage and provide infrastructure and improve the living conditions of people living in border areas.

The double-walled fence along India's border with Bangladesh has been effective in controlling illegal border crossings and cross-border criminal activities. Based on this successful experience, India has decided to take similar measures along the India-Myanmar border to secure the national border.

The issue of refugees in Myanmar is a complex and sensitive issue that involves multiple aspects such as humanitarian, security and international cooperation. India's decision is to address real issues and safeguard national interests, but it also needs to take into account humanitarian assistance and shelter for the people of Myanmar.

In the face of the influx of refugees brought about by the conflict in Myanmar, the international community should strengthen cooperation and share responsibilities. Countries can help Burmese refugees resettle and rebuild their homes by providing material and humanitarian assistance through coordinated action. At the same time, the international community should also put pressure on Myanmar** to take effective measures to end the conflict and protect the safety and rights of its people.

In addition, border management and resource allocation should be strengthened in countries hosting Myanmar refugees to ensure that refugees receive basic livelihood guarantees and public services such as education and medical care. At the same time, in order to alleviate the burden on host countries, the international community should also increase its assistance and provide financial and technical support.

In short, the humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict in Myanmar requires a joint response by the international community. All countries should strengthen cooperation and work together to address the root causes of conflict and build a peaceful, stable and prosperous future for the people of Myanmar. For India, the construction of border barriers is only part of the solution, and it is more important to promote regional peace and prosperity through multilateral cooperation and diplomatic mediation.
