In view of the inconvenience faced by people near the India-Myanmar border, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided to allow cross-border movements of those living 10 kilometres of the frontier, officials said on Saturday.

The MHA had scrapped the Free Movement Regime (FMR) between the two countries amid the continuing trouble in Manipur due to ethnic clashes.

The entry will be regulated from 43 designated border crossing points where Assam Rifles personnel will issue "border passes". Eight pilot entry and exit points would be made functional immediately, while 35 other points would be set up under Phase I and II.
