Closing in on the militant camps operating in Myanmar, the Myanmar Army has positioned itself nearer Indian border in a bid to choke the supply route of insurgents after surgical strikes by Indian forces earlier this month, reports the Economic Times on June 25.
The current operation is aimed at insurgent camps operating in Taga of Myanmar which requires seven days of travel through dense jungles from Indo-Myanmar border, official sources said in India.
Taga has camps of several insurgent outfits including NSCN and UNLP, they said.
The sources said that by positioning themselves along the border with India, Myanmar's forces are not allowing anyone from Indian side to carry ration more than two kilogrammes to cross the border which is expected to leave the insurgents short of supplies.
