The Nagaland Assembly passed a resolution on Friday urging the Indian government to reconsider its decision to fence the Indo-Myanmar border and scrap the Free Movement Regime (FMR). This move came after the Mizoram Assembly passed a similar resolution a few days ago. The FMR, which was established in 2018, allows people living on both sides of the border to travel 16 kilometers into each other's territory without a visa. The FMR has been in place since the 1970s.
