Moreh,(Manipur-Maynamr border), Jan 11: Myanmar is yet to launch any offensive against insurgents from North East region of India who have set up camps in inaccessible terrains in the upper region of that country, an Indian Army official said here today. Myanmar Army had neither taken any action to flush out the insurgents nor dismantle their camps in upper parts of that country, the official on condition of anonymity told today.

He said it was difficult for the Myanmar Army personnel to destroy those camps because they were located in most unfavourable and inaccessible areas in the upper region of the country bordering Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Manipur. Assam Rifles sources said the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang faction) and some Manipur-based separatist groups have set up camps there for imparting training to insurgents of these groups. Efforts were on to erect fencing along the Manipur-Yanmar international border.
