“We are facing a serious problem within our country, especially in Manipur where many new villages have emerged due to the massive influx of illegal immigrants from Myanmar since 2006. During this period, settlements have to be established to Forests have been destroyed on a large scale and the Pope is planting trees,” the Chief Minister said.

A Manipur government report said that since 2006, the state has seen a significant increase in the number of new villages, mainly due to the influx of illegal immigrants from Myanmar.The report said these immigrants have encroached upon forest land and set up settlements, leading to deforestation and environmental degradation, adding that they are also engaged in illegal activities such as poppy cultivation, which is destroying the area. The socio-economic and ecological challenges faced by India have increased.
In response to these challenges, the Government of Manipur has initiated a number of measures aimed at addressing the issue of illegal immigration and its attendant impacts.
Apart from collecting biometric data of illegal immigrants and geotagging their settlements, other measures include increasing security along the nearly 400 km long India-Myanmar border in Manipur, involvement of indigenous communities, helping them protect their rights and interests against encroachment and exploitation.
