Aizawl: A recent circular from 'India for Myanmar' — an independent grassroots advocacy initiative based in New Delhi — has advised Myanmarese refugees in New Delhi to remain indoors unless absolutely essential, following intensified actions against foreign nationals residing in the national capital. The notification also indicates that the new administration in the capital is resolute about identifying and removing unauthorised immigrants, particularly in light of the recent India-Pakistan military tensions.

The document additionally noted that the Indian branch of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has provided refugee information to Indian authorities.
