 "Rajnath Singh expresses concern on Indo-Myanmar border situation")
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday expressed concerns over the recent developments along India-Myanmar border and said he has constituted a committee to review how to effectively manage the issue.
Addressing the northeast chief ministers' meet here, he said the committee, headed by security expert R N Ravi, has already reviewed the situation and is expected to submit its report soon.
The minister said: "We should not ignore the border population. There are 240 villages with over two lakh population within 10 km of the India-Myanmar border."
"This large population is without any security cover. They are at the mercy of insurgents. Similar situation prevails along the India-Bhutan border," he added.
