India
suspended travel through the border gate at Reedhorda in Chin State on 21 and
22 January and will also suspend travel on 25 and 26 January, according to
local authorities.
The
bridge was suspended on 21 and 22 January when India’s Lt-Gen Sangwan, Director
General of the Assam Army of India, was visiting the area. The bridge will be
suspended again on 25 and 26 January while India is celebrating their 70th
Republic Day.
U
Kyin Lin Khaing, Head of Reedhorda General Administration Office, confirmed the
information yesterday. He said, “A border trade camp on India’s side was
temporarily closed due to a trip by India’s high ranking officer. India will
temporarily close the border gate on 25 and 26 January because they will
celebrate the Republic Day.”
When
asked about the temporary closure of the border gate, a director of the
Directorate of Trade replied that his ministry has not yet received an official
notice.
