He also said that food and shelters should be provided to the foreign nationals who were forced to sneak into Indian territory in the Manipur sector.
The MPP president also appealed to the state government to send a team of state officials to border town Moreh and take stock of the prevailing situation of the foreign national seeking refuge in that town.
A team of MPP will also visit Moreh to assess the prevailing situation in the border town at the Indo-Myanmar border, he informed.
