The international border with Mynamar is considered to be porous while cross-border movement of insurgents and smuggling of arms and ammunition are common there.
This is for the first time such a meeting has been called to discuss issues concerning Mynamar border and how to improve security along the border with active participation of state governments, the official said.
A similar meeting of chief ministers of five Himalayan states — Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh — was held last month in Gangtok to discuss security and developmental activities along the 3,488-km-long Sino-Indian border.
