Routes Reopen: Essential Supplies Flood into Haka

VEHICLES transporting food supplies, consumer goods, construction materials, and educational and medical sup­plies arrived in Haka on 21 May after key transport routes link­ing towns in Chin State were reopened, according to reports.

Tatmadaw said it has been carrying out counter-terrorism operations in areas temporar­ily controlled by terrorists, in cooperation with residents, to ensure peace and stability for the public.

The convoy, accompanied by departmental officials, trav­elled along the Kalay-Thaing­ning-Falam-Haka route after authorities reopened transport links connecting Haka, Falam, Tiddim, and Tonzang. Locals welcomed the vehicles’ arrival with traditional drum perfor­mances, auspicious branches, and flower garlands.

The supplies included basic food items, household goods, school textbooks, stationery, medicines, and construction materials intended to support local livelihoods, healthcare services, and reconstruction activities.

Residents had previously faced shortages of food, con­sumer goods, and medicines, as well as rising commodity prices and transport difficul­ties, while road access along the Kalay-Falam-Haka route remained disrupted. Officials said the newly arrived supplies would be distributed to locals and that passenger and car­go transport services had now resumed along the route. — MNA/KZL
