With several Myanmar police officers and civilians entering India through the north-east borders since February's military coup, the Home Ministry on Friday directed the states that share border with Myanmar to deport the foreigners. The Ministry has asked the four states -- Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh -- to take appropriate action and maintain strict vigil at the borders. Several Myanmar nationals, including many policemen, have entered Mizoram to evade the brutality of the Military Junta, after a coup on February 1 that ousted the elected government.
