The work for construction of a new road under the Centre’s Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) near Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur has been halted following encroachment allegation by the neighbouring country.
Myanmar army recently stopped Manipur workers constructing the new road under the PMGSY near border pillar number 82 in Moreh in Tengnoupal district, about 80-km from Imphal.
The matter was referred to Survey of India after a joint inspection team of both the countries failed to resolve it on Thursday.
“We received a letter from deputy commissioner, Tamu in Myanmar, recently alleging that about 250-km has been encroached towards their border. He requested us for a joint inspection. So we carried out an inspection today and tried to locate the area using GPS.
