Indian Army chief Manoj Mukund Naravane on Friday acknowledged the role played by the Myanmar Army in helping curb insurgency in the Northeast. He said that there had been “encouraging improvement” in the internal security situation in the Northeast.

Niravane's comments, at a seminar on evolving security challenges in the country’s North-east and the way forward, come at a time when disengagement between Indian and Chinese troops is underway in the Pangong Tso area of eastern Ladakh. In a seminar in New Delhi, he said,"Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya and large parts of Assam were practically free from insurgency with the level of violence significantly going down." The Army chief further added, “While relentless operations by the security forces and proactive government policies have laid the foundation, favourable external environment with Myanmar and Bangladesh have struck at the roots of the insurgent organizations."
