THE government is inviting members of various armed groups, including the PDF, to return to the legal fold, while providing those who comply with the necessary assistance and support.

 

A total of 72 DPLA mem­bers: 16 males and 40 females, TNLA members: three males, and PDF members: 11 males and two females, entered the legal fold yesterday. These re­turnees are from Nawnghkio, Kyaukme and Hsipaw townships in Shan State (North), and the handover ceremony took place at the North-East Command Head­quarters with the attendance of Commander Maj-Gen Aye Min Oo and other relevant officials.

 

The returnees signed pledg­es, and then they were formally handed back to their parents or guardians.

 

Those who intend to rejoin the legal framework are encour­aged to promptly contact and report to the nearest Tatmadaw bases or police stations. They will be welcomed and accepted, provided with the necessary as­sistance and support, and cash rewards for any arms and am­munition. — MNA/KTZH
