00:00 As the Myanmar situation worsens, worries have started to grow in neighbouring India.
00:06 Rebel forces in Myanmar's Chin state have taken control of a border crossing point across
00:09 the small hilly Indian state of Mizoram, two days after they overran the Janata's two military
00:14 bases near the country's border with India.
00:17 As the situation worsens, the majority of the approximately 5,000 citizens of Myanmar
00:21 who had fled to India to avoid the fierce fighting between the rebellions and the Janata
00:25 military have went back to their homes, according to the local leaders.
00:29 Now India has formally commented on the situation and voiced its concern in a statement.
00:35 "Myanmar nationals to the Indian side, we are deeply concerned with such incidents close
00:41 to our border.
00:43 Our position on the ongoing situation in Myanmar is very clear.
00:47 We want cessation of the violence and resolution of the situation through constructive dialogue.
00:54 We reiterate our call for return of peace, stability and democracy in Myanmar.
01:01 Since the current conflict started, I think it was in 2021 in Myanmar, a large number
01:07 of Myanmar citizens have been taking refuge in India.
01:11 Local authorities in the concerned neighbouring states have been handling the situation appropriately
01:16 on humanitarian grounds.
01:17 We have also been facilitating the return of those who wish to go back to their country,
01:23 to that country that is Myanmar.
01:26 And of course, for specific details about Myanmar nationals who have crossed over to
01:29 India, we have expressed our concern.
01:31 We want peace and stability to return to our country, democracy and stability to remain
01:38 there.
01:39 We want violence to cease and a solution to the situation to be found.
01:45 We are very concerned about such developments.
01:51 Of course, such developments are taking place close to our border."
