India plans to allocate nearly $3.7 billion to fence its 1,610-km (1,000-mile) porous border with Myanmar over approximately ten years to curb smuggling and illicit activities.

According to a report, a government committee recently sanctioned the fencing cost, pending approval from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet.
