AUTHORITIES are continuing to dismantle illegal buildings used for online fraud and illicit gambling in Shwe Kokko, according to official reports.
Combined departmental teams are conducting security operations in the Shwe Kokko and KK Park areas to prevent these structures from being used in online scams. Equipment seized from these sites is being systematically destroyed, and the illegal buildings are being fully demolished.
During the latest phase of the operation, heavy machinery was used to flatten three three-storey residential buildings connected to online scam operations. These structures are part of a targeted list of 77 illegal buildings identified for removal, including 57 slated for mechanical demolition and 20 slated for destruction using controlled explosives.
Officials confirmed that a total of 45 buildings have been demolished, with the remaining 32 illegal structures scheduled to be dismantled in the coming stages.
Authorities reiterated that the crackdown on online scam networks is being treated as a national responsibility. Myanmar is collaborating with neighbouring countries and international partners to permanently prevent these criminal syndicates from re-establishing themselves in the country. — MNA/MKKS
