The Indian Army and Indian Air Force (IAF) have effectively orchestrated the repatriation of 39 Myanmarese military personnel who crossed the international border and sought sanctuary in Mizoram.
These individuals were transported in separate batches on Tuesday from Hnahlan Village in Mizoram’s Champhai district to Moreh in Manipur. This route was strategically chosen to eliminate the necessity for the IAF to traverse into Myanmar airspace.
The soldiers approached Mizoram police in Zokhawthar, Champhai district, on Monday after the PDF raided military bases at Rihkhawdar and Khawmawi in Chin state.
An official source confirmed that the soldiers voluntarily approached Mizoram police seeking refuge. The same source stated, “Forty Myanmarese soldiers fled to Zokhawthar and approached Mizoram police on Monday, while three others did the same on Tuesday.”
