BAGO DIVISION- A non-CDM forestry department employee, who worked for the terrorist army, was reportedly shot dead in Oakpho Township, last Friday (September 22).
At around 8:00 a.m. on September 22, the Non-CDM employee “Tawkaung Ohn Hlaing” died on the spot after being shot by the (Underground) Guerrilla Unit (4) of Tharyawaddy District Battalion 3802, on the side of Byuha Road, Htanpinkone Village.
A Chinese motorcycle, a cell phone, 250,000 Kyats and documents with his name on them were reportedly confiscated.
“The deceased Ohn Hlaing had been roaming around the village, collecting gate fees at the forest gates and threatening the people to be killed if they don’t pay the gate fees. He also challenged people defense force members that he is vile enough to stay in the forest and to come and kill him if they dared. The departmental chief is calling him back to office but he chose to stay at the forest area to make more money,” said an official from Tharyawaddy District PDF.
Mr. Ohn Hlaing has been supporting the junta regime and informing about the CDM employees from the Forestry Department to get abducted. Moreover, he colluded with the terrorist army to cut down the young-aged wood to generate income for the terrorist military group, track and inform the PDF camp locations to the Junta forces. It is reported that along with the junta troops, he used to oppress and abuse the people working in Bago Yoma to earn.
