Borobekra, also spelt Barabekra, is a village and the headquarters of an eponymous subdivision in the Jiribam district in Manipur, India. It is about 30 km south of Jiribam, the headquarters of the district. The village is on the bank of a tributary of the Barak River, which flows down from the Vangaitang range to the east. The Barak River itself flows north in this region, up to Jirimukh, where it turns west. The Barak River also forms the border with the Assam state of India. The north–south-running Jiribam–Tipaimukh highway passes by the village.
The village has a population of 741 people as per the 2011 census, of which 27% is made of Scheduled Tribes (Kuki-Zo people).[1][2] The other major communities in the region are Bengalis and Meiteis.
