Kohima, March 8 -- Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio on Friday said he would lead an all-party delegation to meet Union home minister Amit Shah to reconsider the Centre's decision to scrap the Free Movement Regime (FMR) with neighbouring Myanmar.
"These measures will impact the age-old historical, social, cultural, tribal and economic ties of Nagas living on both sides of the Indo-Myanmar Border (IMB). It will also impede the close familial ties that exist between the communities who live along the border where at times people will have to cross the IMB for farming," he said in the assembly, proposing he would lead an all-party delegation to meet Shah at the earliest opportunity.
