Reference News Network July 7 report - According to AFP, on July 7, officials in Mizoram, northeastern India, said that nearly 4,000 local people have fled to India in the past four days due to intense fighting in Myanmar.
Vanlalramia, head of the home department of Mizoram, told AFP that these refugees crossed dense forests to seek refuge in the neighboring country India to escape the conflict between hostile Chin ethnic armed organizations.
He said: "Many of them have relatives in India, so they can stay with their relatives. Others have been accommodated in community halls."
It is reported that this remote mountainous area has already sheltered more than 30,000 refugees from Myanmar. A deadly civil war has erupted in Myanmar since the military seized power in 2021.
The report said a senior police officer who did not want to reveal his name said: "About 4,000 people have come here in the past four days."
The police said that the fighting between two organizations opposing the Myanmar military regime for control over the Chin State region continues.
The police said: "The situation on the other side of the border remains tense, so we have not asked them to return." (Translated by Wenyi)
