INTENTIONALLY published false news on social media claims that the Tatmadaw is removing power cables from the electric power lines in Pazunmyaung Village, located in Nyaunglebin Township, Bago Region, and selling them, resulting in a lack of electricity in the village. Misformation also alleges that Tatmadaw has taken cattle and furniture from the villagers.

However, administrative officials of Bago Region assert that the villagers of Pazunmyaung are continuing their daily routines as usual, and the news, as mentioned above, is mere misinformation.

According to a member of the security forces serving duties around Pazunmyaung village, terrorists fired indiscriminately near the village three months ago, damaging and cutting off some parts of the power transmission lines. Consequently, the village has been without electricity for three months.

In reality, terrorists are engaging in destructive acts such as explosions, sabotage, and arson, targeting essential infrastructures, including the electricity sector, and forcibly taking public properties. Malicious news outlets publish stories to defame the Tatmadaw and the police force, who serve their rightful duties in maintaining tranquillity, security, and the rule of law in towns and villages.
