Friendly neighbour India, call to make Moreh cantonment town

By A Staff Reporter

India is committed to maintain a peaceful and harmonious relationship with neighbours. The situation in Manipur is limping back to normal with no fresh incidents reported over the last few days and there has been an overall development and tranquility in the North East, claimed minister of state for external affairs Rajkumar Ranjan Singh in an exclusive interview with ANM News over phone.

 ``India is committed to friendly neighbourhood policy but I can assure you that this government will not cow down to any threats. We are committed to defend our country against any enemies external or internal,'' Singh said.

The union minister took a special initiative to promote peace and trade along the Indo-Myanmar border town of Morch.

In the letter, Singh has requested Prime Minister Modi to make Morch, with a population of a few thousand, a cantonment cum commercial town under the Cantonment Act 2006.

The union minister for external affairs gave a detailed analysis on the reason to make the town a cantonment cum commercial hub.
