Departments Arrive in Falam to Restore Government Administration

TATMADAW conducts Coun­ter-Terrorism Operations to restore stability and the socio­economic status of locals in cer­tain areas under the control of insurgents, and Tatmadaw fully regained Falam on 25 April.

During the period of control by armed groups, many residents were displaced and faced hard­ships, including loss of property and access to healthcare, educa­tion, and livelihoods. Some resi­dents have now begun returning to their homes.

Tatmadaw columns contin­ue efforts in Falam Township and surrounding areas to en­sure that temporarily displaced local ethnic residents can re­turn and live peacefully, rebuild their livelihoods, and restore socioeconomic activities. In or­der to enable the resumption of government administrative mechanisms and allow residents to return to their homes, work is being carried out to repair government offices, residential buildings, and religious, educa­tional, and healthcare facilities that were destroyed by armed groups during their temporary control. Moreover, mine clear­ance operations and necessary security measures are being con­ducted in towns and villages to eliminate the threat of landmines planted by the insurgents.

To provide necessary assis­tance to residents and to facili­tate the reopening of government offices, schools, and hospitals, departmental organizations departed from Kalay by vehicle yesterday morning with relief supplies and arrived in Falam in the same evening, where they were warmly welcomed by local ethnic communities.

The local ethnic people want only peace, as they personally encountered the impacts of con­flicts, and they also hope for the restoration of healthcare ser­vices, socioeconomic develop­ment, and access to education for children, similar to the pre­vious peaceful period. Moreover, they show their willingness to cooperate with the Tatmadaw in reconstruction efforts to rebuild Falam, which has suffered exten­sive damage due to violent acts.

Similarly, Tatmadaw col­umns, in cooperation with locals, will carry out rapid reconstruc­tion of schools, hospitals and clin­ics, government offices, religious buildings, and homes that were destroyed. Security operations will also continue for people to be able to live in peace and stability. — MNA/KTZH
