MAGWAY DIVISION – The defense forces have reportedly captured the junta-appointed administrators of Nyaung Inn and North Zigone Kyun Villages near Sinphyu Kyun Town and the junta police are searching the town.
The administrator of Nyaung Inn Village (near Salin Township, Sinphyu Kyun Town) was arrested at his home in Natsin Village, and the administrator of North Zigone Kyun Village was also arrested at his home on October 31 at noon.
“In the town, I saw policemen with guns riding around on motorcycles. At first, I didn’t know what was going on. I later found out that the administrators of Natsin Village and North Zigone Kyun Village were arrested by the PDF members and they were looking around the town for them,” said a resident of Sinphyu Kyun.
Those detained administrators are 40-year-old Mr. Bo Bo Sein, administrator of Nyaung Inn Village, and Mr. Myo Min Htike (45), the administrator of North Zigone Kyun Village.
Another resident said that it was certain that the two of them were arrested by PDF groups, but he did not know exactly which PDF group had taken them or where they are kept.
The PDF forces have warned the junta-appointed administrators to resign/quit but those in Sinphyu Kyun Township continued to work for the junta regime while pretending to have resigned.
