Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Hundreds of protesters rallied in Kohima, Nagaland on April 9, 2025, opposing India's plan to fence the Indo-Myanmar border and eliminate the Free Movement Regime affecting Naga tribes. The peaceful demonstration was organized by the Angami Public Organisation and other tribal groups.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether broader cross-border restrictions emerge that could affect trade flows between India and Myanmar.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of protests or government response that could disrupt regional connectivity between Nagaland and Myanmar
• Track official policy announcements regarding border fencing timeline and implementation of Free Movement Regime changes
