Three types of registration conducted in Maungtaw

December 26, 2017

Three types of registration are currently being conducted by the department of Immigration in Maungtaw, according to a department official.

“This process is carried out every year around December 16, and it was formerly known as Drawing, Registration and Approval. As for our department, we have already inspected up to 383 household so far”, he added.

The registration process includes three types; to scrutinise the household lists, to take a family photograph, and to register the housing complex.

“Prior to this process, we had to go on field trips to these areas, which included drawing maps of the villages, and recording the housing complex for inspection”, an official said.

“We have already conducted this process in Shwe Zar Middle Village and Gaung Nyar Village, and now we are doing it in Kappa Kaung Village. All these villages belong to Shwe Zar-tract 12 villages, and we are going to register the rest of the areas near Maungtaw”, said U Zaw Moe Naing, an immigration officer.

In the final stage, the officials concerned scrutinise the household list with the old one, and take a photograph for record keeping. By doing this, we can easily determine the numbers of newborn babies and deceased persons, and the list of displaced people who fled to other country. It aims to scrutinise the growth and decline of the population in this region. Currently, the inspection process is being carried out at the Immigration branch offices in Maungtaw and Butheedaung townships only.—Myanmar News Agency
