Authorities have continued dismantling illegal buildings used for online fraud and illegal gambling activities in Shwe Kokko, according to official reports.
The government stated that joint departmental teams are carrying out clearance operations in the Shwe Kokko and KK Park areas to prevent the continued use of illegal structures for online scam operations. Equipment used in such activities has also been systematically destroyed, while the illegal buildings are being completely demolished.
During the latest phase of the operation, three three-storey residential buildings used for online scam activities were demolished using heavy machinery. The structures were among 50 buildings identified for removal, including 57 to be demolished using machinery and 20 to be destroyed by controlled explosions.
Officials confirmed that three buildings have been demolished to date. The remaining 50 structures will be dismantled in subsequent phases.
Authorities also stated that efforts to combat online scam networks are being undertaken as a national responsibility, in cooperation with neighbouring countries and international partners, to prevent such activities from re-establishing themselves in Myanmar.
