In carrying out area organizing activities and area control activities, security personnel must have a comprehensive knowledge about the situation and facts of the area they are assigned to, and to carry out the security duties with the participation of locals through mutual assistance and indivisible unity between local military units and local people.

As regards the reports, the Senior General said a development project must take worksite safety and proper drainage and ventilation into account. Hence, drains must be systematically constructed. Supervision is required for systematic arrangement of shops after the completion of construction works.
The storey which will house food courts must be cleaned and has proper water and electricity supply systems.
As lifts need constant power supply, solar power system must be installed as a backup.
The aim of the new market project is to meet the growing population and tourist arrivals of PyinOoLwin and to serve as a one stop shopping centre.
It must be an ideal market that sells local meet, fish, vegetables and fruits in systematic packages. Pre-planning is required to ensure adequate parking areas, systematically open restaurants and shops during the festival seasons when the number of domestic and foreign visitor arrivals is high.
