Arunachal Pradesh shares a boundary with both Myanmar and Bhutan. 3. The Assam Rifles is responsible for guarding the Myanmar border. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

The correct answer is Option 2. In News The Government of India has announced a plan to completely fence the 1,643-km-long India-Myanmar border within the next 10 years, implementing an "anti-cut, anti-climb" fence to curb illegal infiltration and unregulated movement across the Free Movement Regime (FMR). Key Points India shares a longer border with Myanmar (1,643 km) than with Bhutan (699 km). Myanmar: 1,643 km (Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram). Bhutan: 699 km (Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh). Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect. Arunachal Pradesh shares a boundary with both Myanmar and Bhutan. ​ Arunachal Pradesh has an international border with Bhutan on the west and Myanmar on the east. Hence, Statement 2 is correct. The Assam Rifles is responsible for guarding the Myanmar border. ​ The fencing project involves constructing infrastructure for the Assam Rifles, the paramilitary force responsible for border security along India-Myanmar. Hence, Statement 3 is correct. Additional Information ​T he Free Movement Regime (FMR) allows people residing within 10 km on either side of the India-Myanmar border to cross without visas. The fencing initiative is expected to disrupt familial and ethnic ties but is aimed at securing India's borders against illegal migration and security threats. India also implements the Border Infrastructure and Management (BIM) Scheme for fencing, floodlighting, and road construction along its international borders.
