Areca nuts are being smuggled from Myanmar to India for long. Six Mizoram districts - Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Serchhip, Hnahthial and Saitual- share about 510-km long international border with Myanmar. This border is being used for smuggling areca nuts - also know as betel nuts - from Myanmar to India.
After the demand of some NGOs of the state, the Mizoram government has also shown its position in favour of giving refugee status to 30,000 Myanmar nationals who are currently taking shelter in various parts of Mizoram following the military coup in their country in February last year.
