Currently, the SAC forces have augmented their military presence and intensified operations near Putao Lungsha Yang village. Furthermore, residents report that they are subjected to rigorous questioning while traveling to their farmlands.
Many residents earn their livelihood through agricultural work. Furthermore, despite the current rice harvesting season in the rural areas, local inhabitants face restrictions on their movement to their farms because of numerous checkpoints along the route. As a result, traveling requires careful consideration and caution.
The SAC has been deployed in Lungsha Yang Village since December 2023. According to local residents, they have increased their military presence, constructed a robust trench, and are currently engaged in military operations within the village.
“Recently, a complete convoy consisting of approximately three military vehicles traversed the village. The military presence is being bolstered, leading me to believe that a confrontation may be imminent. Additionally, military camps are being established in areas that previously lacked such installations,” he remarked.
At present, armed conflict is ongoing in Kachin State, with military operations conducted by the SAC forces also occurring in the Putao region. This situation has raised concerns among the local population regarding the potential for skirmishes in the area. The SAC forces have been deployed in the village of Sumpi Yang, situated along the Myitkyina-Putao highway, since May. Furthermore, with the onset of winter, evacuees are facing urgent needs for warm clothing, blankets, essential food supplies, and medical care.
