The Maring Students' Union (MSU) in a statement said 1,428 Myanmar nationals whose biometrics have been taken are living in six Maring Naga villages, and it acknowledges the plight of the Myanmar nationals and expresses "heartfelt sympathy towards them".
The MSU, however, said the Myanmar nationals have outnumbered the locals in these villages. The Myanmar nationals are actually refugees who fled from the fighting between the junta forces and pro-democracy insurgents.
