MANDALAY DIVISION – Taungtha People’s Defence Organisation (PDO) said that they awarded a junta policeman deployed in Taungtha Township, Myingyan District who entered the legal fold with his weapon five million Kyats.
That policeman was from Police Battalion 5 based in Mhawbi, Yangon Division and he reportedly surrendered to Taungtha PDO on August 17.
“He has only been in the police force for around one and a half year. He was born in Thabeikkyin. He was detained (by junta forces) in 2021 on his way to Myawaddy to join the revolutionary forces. He got into the police force after the junta forces told him to get arrested or join the police force,” said an official from Taungtha PDO.
That policeman was awarded five million Kyats as he brought a G3 rifle, 150 bullets and one hand grenade.
