Nagaland assembly resolved request Government of India to reconsider its decision, on Free Movement Regime and fencing along the Indo-Myanmar border
Nagaland assembly resolved to request the Government of India to reconsider its decision, and to abandon the plan of suspending the Free Movement Regime and fencing along the Indo-Myanmar border.
The Centre has decided to do away with the FMR with Myanmar and erect fencing along the Indo-Myanmar border. The Free Movement Regime initially allowed travelling up to 40 kilometres without separate permission, which was later reduced to 16 kilometres.

Deputy Chief Minister, Yanthungo Patton, introduced the resolution on the floor of the house which was moved for consideration and adoption by the August House.

Now, therefore, in view of the special and unique situation mentioned
