MOREH (MANIPUR), OCT. 17. The Manipur Government has urged the Centre to
intensify trading between India and Myanmar by opening more gates
through this border town in Chandel district, official sources said
today.

A high-level team led by the Chief Secretary, Mr. Rakesh, reviewed the
Indo-Myanmar trade here last week and stressed the need to intensify
trading through more border gates.

The trading, which started about five years ago, was being carried out
through other border gates. If other gates were also opened for
business, government could earn a lot, the sources said.

The team also reviewed the progress of various Central projects here for
boosting border trade. Construction of a trade centre here was complete
while a food testing laboratory, a ?Yatri Niwas?, a shopping complex and
a food and civil supply godown were under construction - PTI
