The Myanmar Army soldiers they saw working in the area refused to answer their questions and asked the Indians to contact their seniors.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial]The following day, an IAS officer from the area, Robert Kshetrimayum, conducted a spot inspection. The Commanding Officer of the Myanmar Army's 87 Light Infantry met with Indian officials but refused to stop the work claiming two things: the territory they were building the platoon base on was Myanmar's and the instructions to build the camp had come from higher authorities and therefore it was not a local level decision that could be negotiated. Official sources say the Myanmarese Commanding Officer also showed the Indian officials a detailed Myanmar map which depicted Holenphai village falling within neighbouring country's territory.[/font][/color][/size] [color=#000000][font=arial][size=3][img]http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2013aug/myanmar1_350_082813025355.jpg[/img][/size][/font][/color] [center][size=5]The nub of the fresh territorial problems arises from a 10-km border fence on the Indo-Myanmar border in Chandel district.[/size][/center] [size=5][color=#000000][font=arial]Sources indicate that the 87 Light Infantry of the Myanmar Army and the 9 Assam Rifles are in touch over the issue, though construction work has apparently not ceased at the village.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial]A senior Army official from the Kolkata-based Eastern Command said the dispute on the border village arose after the disappearance of three pillars demarcating the boundary between India and Myanmar.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial]However, he said the issue had been amicably resolved after a post-level meeting between the Myanmar and Indian Army near the village on August 26.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial]"The Myanmar Army agreed to stopped construction on their post and have ceased forest clearance activities," he said.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial]"We have very cordial relations with them all along the border."[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial]Post level meetings are conducted on a regular basis between colonels or their second-in-commands of both armies.[/font][/color][/size]
