Additionally, there are organizations directly involved in these efforts, as well as separate organizations working towards the same goal.

📌📌 7. Curfew Reinstated in Moreh, India-Myanmar Border Area Amidst Security Concerns; Myanmar Grocers Encounter Hurdles
The daily curfew relaxation in the Indian-Myanmar border town of More in Manipur has been revoked following an order issued by the Tengnoupal District Magistrate on October 9, as reported by the media. The relaxation, which was previously in effect from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. to allow the general public to purchase essential items, including medicines and food, has been cancelled with the immediate effect on October 10 until further order due to concerns over potential public gatherings.
The curfew announcement has resulted in a situation where greengrocers from Myanmar are unable to enter Moreh, India, via Tamu in Chin State, Myanmar.
A resident of Tamu expressed their concerns, saying, “We, including suppliers of raw goods, finished products, and greengrocers, heavily rely on Moreh. It poses significant challenges for us when Moreh is inaccessible like this,” in an interview with Zalen Media.
Although the India-Myanmar trade gate is not officially open, the Assam Rifles, Indian Border Security Force, has permitted entry and exit between Tamu and Moreh through Gate No. 1, from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Indian time.
