During this period, nearly every village in Putao Township is engaged in preparations and festivities for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
The public is notably apprehensive regarding the reports indicating that the military dynamics between the current SAC forces and the KIA joint forces are progressing towards Putao Township.
In the third week of December, numerous locations within the region are making arrangements to commemorate Christmas. Conversely, there is growing concern regarding the unexpected onset of hostilities.
“Numerous reports indicate that a skirmish has erupted in Sumpi Yang village along the Putao-Myitkyina highway. Currently, preparations for Christmas are underway. Due to the recent outbreak of conflict, visitors from the Myitkyina area are unable to travel. Should hostilities escalate, the roads will be closed. We are fervently hoping that no skirmishes occur during the festival,” stated a religious leader.
Recently, a villager reported that the SAC and militia forces deployed in the Lungsha Yang village group along the Putao-Myitkyina highway have imposed restrictions on residents, preventing them from leaving the village to access the forests in Long Shayan and Tanja villages.
Residents of villages along the Myitkyina road and in Sumprabum town have reportedly been instructed to make arrangements for food and shelter in designated evacuation areas, as there is a possibility that the SAC may come under aerial bombardment should hostilities erupt.
