In response to escalating conflict between Myanmar’s military junta and Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs), India’s Ministry of External Affairs has temporarily moved consulate staff from Sittwe, Rakhine province, to Yangon. The decision follows the loss of a major commercial center to armed groups near the Thai border. The consulate in Mandalay remains operational. Indians traveling to Myanmar are urged to follow safety protocols. The move underscores growing regional concerns over Myanmar’s internal strife.
