SHAN STATE – A Mobre PDF information officer said that Mobre PDF troops started helping to harvest the rice in an area where war refugees were planted near Moe Bye city, on the Shan and Karreni border, which were difficult to harvest themselves.
He said that some of the paddy fields planted by war refugees near Balue Creek, Moe Bye city, could not be harvested because they were close to where the junta council troops were stationed and also had to be evacuated due to the flood, but PDF helped to harvest the rest.
“It’s not far from the junta council’s troops, and they dare not to harvest. They also had to move because of the flood and couldn’t spare time to harvest,” he explained. He said they harvested about 4 acres of rice today and sent the obtained rice to the owner, a resident of the refugee camp.
It has been raining continuously on the Shan-Karini border for the past few days, and due to the release of water from the Moe Bye Dam, which is connected to Inlay Lake, more than 1,500 local residents who were fleeing the war along the Balue River had to be evacuated.
As a result of this flood, hundreds of acres of rice fields planted along the Balue Creek were damaged by flooding and had to be moved urgently. Some of the crops cannot be harvested, said a resident of Moe Bye.
