MANDALAY DIVISION – It is reported that the township junta council in Pyin Oo Lwin, the military town, has ordered to keep a strict watch on the people holding citizenship scrutiny cards that start with 5/ indicating that they are from Sagaing Division.
It is said that Pyin Oo Lwin residents, visitors and workers holding said identification cards are required to report to the related ward administration office and will be recorded with their photos.
“The general administration (department) summoned business owners to a meeting and said it, that if there were people holding the Sagaing Division identification cards, they need to have their photos taken and registered at the ward administration office,” said a resident of Pyin Oo Lwin.
A revolutionary soldier shared that order came out after the Defense Services Academy (DSA) in Pyin Oo Lwin was attacked with shock missiles on April 12 night before the Thingyan holidays while the junta terrorist chief Min Aung Hlaing was in town.
“Following the shock missiles attack, they (junta council) summoned and talked to hotels and businesses because they suspect that the 5/ (Sagaing natives) are in Pyin Oo Lwin and are scared that 5/ (Sagaing natives) might have infiltrated as employees,” said Mr. Sao Paulo, a revolutionary soldier active on the ground in Pyin Oo Lwin.
Sagaing Division where there is strong resistance against the junta regime is situated right next to Mandalay Division and junta forces and revolutionary forces are clashing at the border of Sagaing and Mandalay Divisions.
Locals believe that the order to target and keep a strict watch on the natives of Sagaing Division is due to Pyin Oo Lwin, highly influenced by the military that it is called the military town, being frequently under attack by shock missiles and drone bombs.
