 Teams led by sub inspector, Moreh police, Akbar, OC, CDO, Tarun and personnel of 11 Assam Rifles arrived at site upon receiving information and stopped the fencing work. 

The holes that were dug out and the erected fencing poles were removed from the site.  

 The commanding officer of Myanmar Army came afterwards and revealed after interrogations that the fencing work was carried out by Namphalong Bazaar Committee. He assured that they will not allow such work without the permission of both countries.   

Sources said SP, Dr. S. Ibomcha, SDPO, Lawrence K Munluo came at the site and personally inspected the situation. As a further step, SP Ibomcha instructed personnel of Moreh Police to patrol the area as a regular duty and took discussions with the Assam Rifles who were guarding the border.
