The
union government, state government and international organisations are
delivering humanitarian aid and cash to internally displaced persons who have
been forced into relief camps.
Security
forces have conducted area clearance operations in Maungtaw District since a
border guard police command centre and a number of police posts were attacked
by violent armed men on 9 October in order to recover looted weapons and to

Government provided them with 4,000 bags of rice, 1,000 visses of Nganitu dried
fish, 8,487.5 gallons of fuel oil, 30 harvesting machines, five generators and

million for the families of the nine fallen members of security forces, Ks1
