morning and met with residents from Zinpaingnyar and Wapeik villages who
returned home after being displaced by armed conflicts.

welfare and the economy and so that they can cooperate with respective
administrative bodies at different levels after assessing experiences
encountered in the region.

that the arrested are required to have the protection of the law in compliance
with rules and regulations, and to be eligible for punishment according to the
findings from trials.

accurate statistics and data for providing subsidies will the respective
departments and organisations be able to help to solve difficulties, so it is
necessary to report the correct situations and needs to ward and village-tract
administrators.
And, if actions
for asking for help were made in accord with the facts described in the
notice-boards, necessary help will be provided. Afterward, designating days and
dates for the family members to meet those arrested over the October incidents
and arrangements for transportation and getting permission to meet the arrested
were clarified, following questions raised by the villagers.

members then arrived at Wapeik village, inspecting the construction sites for
housing estates to resettle families whose dwelling places were lost in the
October incidents, which was being implemented under the instruction of the
Rakhine State Cabinet.

was being managed by the Maungtaw district and township management committee.U
Myint Khaing, chairman of Maungtaw township management committee explained in
detail.

of Wapeik, each family will be helped in getting a plot.

that the housing estate will be built with a street crossing in the middle of
the village, path going around the village and an entrance way linking with

edifice existing in the village will remain intact and the use of the building
will be granted as previously allowed.
