KACHIN STATE- According to a Putao resident, the local leader has submitted a letter to the military strategy office saying that he no longer wants to participate local militia group formation in Longshayan region, Putao Township.
It was found that the report was submitted to the Putao-based Military Infantry Battalion (46), dated back on September 29.
“Notification of the suspension of the establishment of Longshayan Militia in Putao” is mentioned as content of the report.
A resident of Lonshayan said that he did not accept militia group formation either but response of the Military Council regarding this matter is not yet known.
“We know that they made arrangements and persuaded the locals to establish a militia group since last May,” said the resident.
In September, the Chairman of the Military Council met with militia leaders from northern Shan State.
In addition, back in 2021, the Khong Lan Phu local militia group from Putao District reportedly persuaded locals of Nung Mon, Putao and Khong Lan Phu areas to attack KIA.
