Monetary aid given to residents and staff in Muse township

November 27, 2016

The recent armed attacks in the Muse area of northern Shan State forced locals and staff members residing in Mongkoe township and Pansang (Kyugok) to take shelter in a neighboring country, which caused some hardship.

Yesterday morning, residents and staff working for the department of the general administration received monetary aid for their hardships at a ceremony held at the assembly hall of township general administration department.

At the ceremony, U Kyaw Kyaw Tun, head of the district general administration department, provided Ks100,000 each for 5 families and other commodities — rice, cooking oil, noodles, blankets and other items, amounting to Ks757,000 kyats, with Ks240,000 for 12 staff members and Ks100,000 for 10 families provided by U Kyaw Thaung, the head of township general administration department — Ks1597,000 in total. Afterward, displaced staff and their families were entertained with lunch at the dining room of the township office.
