Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma on Saturday held meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Officials said the chief minister discussed the fencing along the India-Myanmar border issue and shelter of refugees of the neighbouring country in his state.
The FMR allowed citizens residing close to both sides of the border to move 16 km into each other's territory without passport or visa.
A senior Mizoram government official said that the Chief Minister on Saturday reiterated to the Home Minister about the “Mizo people's stance against border fencing along the Myanmar border with Mizoram".
Lalduhoma on Saturday also met Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and discussed enhancing the Zoram Medical College, state’s lone medical college.
He also met Union Minister of State for Finance Bhagwat Kishanrao Karad and discussed Mizoram's finance and banking sectors.
The ongoing visit was Lalduhoma’s second tour to the national Capital after assuming the office as Chief Minister on December 8 last year. Mizoram shares a 510 km unfenced border with Myanmar.
