DEPARTMENTAL organiza­tions have arrived in Kyaukme to resume the government’s administrative mechanism.

 

As Tatmadaw launches counter-terrorism operations in some townships, villages and areas temporarily controlled by terrorists, ethnic people warm­ly support Tatmadaw’s recon­trol over Kyaukme on 1 October and welcome and encourage Tatmadaw military columns.

 

After Tatmadaw totally controls Kyaukme and its en­virons, ethnic people who fled their native areas return to their areas.

 

Tatmadaw columns are continuing necessary security operations and mine clearance activities in Kyaukme and its surrounding areas to remove the dangers of landmines planted cruelly by terrorists. These efforts aim to restore government administrative mechanisms, allow local ethnic residents who had temporari­ly fled to return and resettle peacefully in their homes, and enable them to resume their social and economic liveli­hoods in safety. At the same time, repairs are being carried out on offices, departmental buildings, residential houses, and religious, educational, and healthcare facilities that were wantonly and brutally burned and destroyed by terrorists while they had temporary control.

 

Yesterday, departmen­tal organizations arrived in Kyaukme by car, which carried necessary relief aid and food­stuffs to reoperate their offices of the government administra­tive mechanism, and to reopen schools and hospitals for public healthcare services. So, resi­dents warmly welcomed them.

 

Local ethnic people wish for peace as they have expe­rienced the impacts of war. They also hope for receiving healthcare services, improve­ment of socioeconomic life and learning opportunities for chil­dren similar to the situations in the past peaceful days. Hence, they will join hands with Tat­madaw in the rehabilitation of Kyaukme.

 

It was reported that eth­nic people will cooperate with Tatmadaw in swiftly repairing schools, hospitals and clinics, offices, religious buildings and residential houses destroyed by terrorists. On the other hand, Tatmadaw columns will accelerate security measures to ensure the peaceful living of the people. — MNA/TTA
