Mizoram, May 18:<\/strong> The number of people from Myanmar seeking shelter in Mizoram has swelled to more than 15,000, with more likely to cross over as fighting intensifies in parts of Myanmar following a coup, a government<\/a><\/span> official said.<\/p>\n

The influx into Mizoram, which shares a porous, mountainous border with Myanmar, began in late February as policemen fled to avoid having to take orders from a junta trying to suppress opposition to the Feb 1 coup.<\/p>\n

By April, about 1,800 people from Myanmar – including several lawmakers – had crossed the border but the number has recently grown to more than 15,400, according to the vice-chairman of Mizoram’s State Planning Board, H. Rammawi.<\/p>\n

“It is increasing day by day<\/strong>,” Rammawi told Reuters by telephone, adding that many people from Myanmar were going to the homes of relatives making it difficult to track numbers.<\/p>\n

Communities in Mizoram and some parts of Myanmar have close ethnic ties, with extended families, often strung across both sides of the border.<\/p>\n

About 6,000 of the people from Myanmar are in Aizawl with others scattered in five districts, according to data shared by Rammawi.<\/p>\n

Rammawi said that residents and non-government organizations were taking care of the people but the state government had sought assistance from federal authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedical aid and their rations are very important<\/strong>,” he said, adding that some people from Myanmar had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With fighting intensifying in northwest Myanmar’s Chin State, opposite Mizoram, Rammawi said he expected the numbers seeking refuge in India to increase.<\/p>\n

The Myanmar hill town of Mindat, about 100 km (60 miles) from the border, has seen some of the most intense fightings since the coup after a militia took up arms against the junta. Thousands have since fled from the town.<\/p>\n

“More people will be coming<\/strong>,” Rammawi said.<\/p>\n

Several thousand villagers have fled from fighting in eastern Myanmar into Thailand since the coup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
