A Thai national was arrested by police at a money exchange in Tachilek, a border city in Eastern Shan State on Tuesday afternoon for trying exchange his fake US dollars for Thai baht.
The 109th anniversary Buddha Pujaniya festival of Kyaikhmawwun Yele Pagoda, located on a small island in Hmaw Wun Creek in Kyauktan Township, Yangon Region, was opened on 12 March.
The blaze engulfed eight nearby houses, two Chinese-made motorbikes, four generators and nearly 700 baskets of paddy. The fire also made 34 people from eight households homeless.
