Aizawl, Aug 20 (TIWN) The success of the "Border Haats" with Bangladesh has prompted other northeastern states of India to go for similar arrangements with Myanmar. At the instance of the Mizoram government, the Centre is likely to set up four "Border Haats" (market) along the border with Myanmar to boost local trade and livelihood of the people living there.
"To carry out border trade with Myanmar, the location for the construction of 'Border Haat' has been identified in four places -- Hnahlan, Zote, Vaphai (Saikhumphai) and Sangau (Pangkhua) in southeastern Mizoram," Mizoram Commerce and Industries Minister R. Lalthangliana told IANS. The Minister said, "The success of the "Border Haats" running along the Bangladesh border in Meghalaya and Tripura has prompted us to go for similar 'haats' with Mynmar in Mizoram."
