Pa-O national races from villages around Hsihseng gathered their strengths, and they joined hands with Tatmadaw and the people’s militia (local) to take the Hsihseng region back from the hands of terrorists as quickly as possible.
Hopong and Hsihseng townships in Pa-O Self-Administered Zone of Shan State (South) have suffered from impacts of loss and damage in terror acts perpetrated by PNLO, KNDF and PDF terrorists, which steadfastly commit subversive acts with attacks in towns and villages where local, national races reside, dropping bombs on religious buildings and schools and firing on these areas with heavy weapons. Still, they chant doing good deeds for the development of the regions.
Yesterday morning, Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, accompanied by his entourage, the Shan State chief minister and the Eastern Command commander, inspected the rehabilitation process in Hsihseng region.
The Senior General headed to Hsihseng along the Taunggyi-Hopong-Hsihseng road and viewed the peaceful daily routine of the majority of Shan and Pa-O ethnic people and the progress of agriculture and livestock farming tasks.
In Hsihseng, the Shan State chief minister, Chairman of Pa-O Self-Administered Zone Administration Body U Khun Ye Htwe and officials reported on a plan to rebuild Hsihseng Myoma market damaged by terrorists.
The Senior General gave guidance on designing the new market as a modern facility with a proper area of shops and considered construction tasks with water and power supply and car parks.
On arrival at the staff rental housing of the Department of Urban and Housing Development in Hsihseng, the Senior General heard reports on damage to the housing by terrorists and repairing process by officials and gave necessary instructions.
The Senior General paid homage to the assistant abbot of Zawanarama Monastery Buaddanta Pannasila and members of the Sangha and donated offerings.
In a meeting with departmental officials, local Tatmadaw members and families, members of the Myanmar Police Force, local people’s militia members, and town elders in Hsihseng, the Senior General said that Hsihseng region where innocent Pa-O national races have been residing peacefully in successive eras faced loss and damage because of rebellious terror acts of opportunist PNLO terrorists.
Nobody should stop development tasks for a region or a country, and they have to march forward and work steadfastly. If they stop, they will lag in development. He emphasized that rehabilitation for damaged structures causes a delay in carrying out development tasks. Only residents can undertake peaceful and stable measures as well as the development of the region. Likewise, residents also commit attempts to cause instability and delay the development tasks of the area. As such, residents have to cooperate with departmental staff, administrative bodies, and security forces to ensure peace and stability, rule of law, and development undertakings for the sake of their region.
He continued to say that departmental staff members have to emphasize the development of education, health, and socioeconomic improvement for the regions they serve in order to shape a better future for the area. The government and Tatmadaw will rehabilitate Hsihseng and its surrounding villages damaged by terrorists as much as possible, and residents have to participate in the rehabilitation process. Stopping development tasks is a loss for the region and the State, so all residents have to carry out development and peace and stability measures.
The Senior General presented foodstuffs and aid to local Tatmadaw members and families, residents and local people’s militia.
Hsihseng of Pa-O Self-Administered Zone is located at an altitude of 3,310 feet, sharing borders with Hopong Township in the north, Maukmai Township in the east, Kayah State in the south and Pekhon, Nyaungshwe and Taunggyi townships in the west. The majority of Pa-O national races peacefully reside in the township. Due to the persuasion and instigation of KNDF and PDF terrorists, the PNLO terrorist group committed terror acts against their ethnic Pa-O with intimidation for terrorism administration and building their power in the region without sympathy. As a result, the region lost peace and stability, whereas locals suffered a loss of socioeconomic life. Hence, as residents did not totally accept the terror acts of unfaithful PNLO terrorists, Pa-O national races from villages around Hsihseng gathered their strengths and joined hands with Tatmadaw and people’s militia (local) in reclaim Hsihseng region from the combined terrorists as quickly as possible. The government and Tatmadaw are carrying out rehabilitation tasks in the Hsihseng area, and national races who temporarily left their regions for terror acts reentered there to earn their livelihood peacefully. — MNA/TTA
