The Union Ministry of Home Affairs told the Lok Sabha on December 16, 2025, that 878 “infiltrators” were caught along the India-Myanmar border in the past two years. Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said only 9.2 km of the total 1,643 km border with Myanmar has been fenced so far. Between 2014 and November 2025, arrests of infiltrators on the Myanmar border were: 45, 32, 20, 15, 39, 57, 58, 73, 173, 212, 441 and 437 respectively. After ethnic violence in Manipur in 2023, Home Minister Amit Shah announced in February 2024 that the entire Myanmar border would be fenced and the Free Movement Regime (FMR) scrapped. The FMR lets people cross the border without visas or passports up to a certain limit. However, FMR continued but was regulated. In December 2024, the FMR zone was reduced from 16 km to 10 km, with 43 exit and entry gates made operational. Biometrics and gate passes were introduced to control cross-border movements. For the Bangladesh border, 2,525 and 2,556 infiltrators were caught in 2024 and 2025. From 2014 to 2023, arrests ranged between 884 and 2,809 annually. The Ministry added that 93.25% of the 2,289.66 km India-Pakistan border is fenced. The remaining 6.75% (154.53 km) is unfenced. For the 4,096.70 km India-Bangladesh border, 79.08% (3,239.92 km) is fenced, while 20.92% (856.78 km) remains open.
