PRISM urges NHRC to monitor presence of security forces at Mizoram-Myanmar

Aizawl, Feb. 25 (PTI): The People's Representation for Identity and Status of Mizoram (PRISM) sent a letter to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday, urging it to monitor the presence of large number of the Indian Army and the central armed police forces (CAPF) along the Mizoram-Myanmar border. The letter said that the presence of large number of armed soldiers in the areas is creating panic among the civilians along the Myanmar border, a statement issued by the party said. Restricting civilian movement by the troops has created serious problems for the people, the statement quoted the PRISM's letter as saying.
