SAGAING DIVISION – The Monywa Revolution Force (MRF) said that some of the shacks in the camp were damaged by the strong wing and heavy rain in the evening of May 1 at Monywa Township.
Many houses of local residents as well as a barrack, kitchen, and shower place of MRF’s camp in Monywa township were damaged by the heavy rain and strong wind at about 5p.m. on May 1.
“The wind was very strong, it was blowing until 6 p.m. and a lot of trees were uprooted. No one was hurt. We are clearing up the place this morning,” said an official from the Monywa Revolution Force.
