Peace in neighbours related to internal security
- Refugee Crisis - unbridled flow of illegal migrants creates law & order
eg → Rohingyas Manipur Crisis.
Border ceasefire violation - neighbouring State using aggresive rhetoric to divert their attention from internal crisis. eg → Pakistan.
Reduced Economic trade results in migration of border people. eg → Arunachal pradesh (Apatani) → Migrating
Demographic inversion - bangladeshi immigrants escaping Pak in 1971 created social strife in Assam → NRC debate.
IB reports suggest safe harbours being provided to internal militant groups like ULFA, KNO in Myanmar
Spread of terrorism - RAW report Suggest Rohingyas operating sleeper cell in India.
Way to counter above
- Full Gujral doctrine and Act East policy to allow peace in Myanmar → take back refugees.
- Israel model of Smart Fencing to prohibit illegal migrants.
- Rationalise 16 Km FMZ by using drones for surveillance.
- Vibrant Village programme to create goodwill in border villages.
- Update NRC to weed out illegal migrants from North-East.
