Myanmar has been in turmoil ever since the military ousted and detained civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1. There have been mass protests across the country. More recently, around 107 people were killed when security forces opened fire on anticoup protesters. The situation is worsening with each day, and so, many are being forced to move out of their homes and seek asylum in neighbouring countries. The border patrol at the MizoramMyanmar border has started being more ‘lenient’ towards the incoming refugees. Myanmar and Mizoram not only share a long porous border but there is a deeper bond between the people of both sides of the border which is why Mizoram has witnessed huge influx of refugees in the past few weeks.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
