Q. What is the Free Movement Regime between India and Myanmar, that was recently making news?
Answer:
A pact allowing visa-free movement across the border
Notes: The Free Movement Regime (FMR) is a mutually agreed arrangement between India and Myanmar that allows tribes living along the border to travel up to 16 km inside each other's territory without a visa. It was implemented in 2018 to improve ties between communities on both sides. However, India plans to end it soon and install fencing across the entire 1,643 km Indo-Myanmar border to stop infiltration and illegal activities.
