The government said today that there has been no instance of installation of border pillars inside Indian territory by Myanmar nor has it taken over land in Manipur.

In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh said both the countries were fully committed to the India-Myanmar Boundary Agreement, 1967, which establishes the international boundary between them.

Responding to a question whether Myanmar authorities have installed border pillars three kms inside Indian territory in Manipur, he said, "There has been no instance of installation of border pillars inside Indian territory nor of taking over of Indian land in Manipur by the Myanmar authorities."
