I would like to share with you a current situation in the war-ridden areas of northern Shan State. Since October 27, clashes between the military and militants have led to the blockade of most roads, the frenzied increase in travel costs and prices, and the acute shortage of goods. In this area, the fare to Modang costs more than 200,000 kyats each way, and to Gui you costs 350,000 kyats. People who have taken refuge in Nampaga to Mujie said that in the past, the fare for passengers was about 20,000 to 30,000 kyats (about 100 yuan), but now the fare has risen to 250,000 kyats (about 800 yuan) per person, which is a full eight times. Local drivers said that the fare between Sister Mu and Menggu used to cost only 100 yuan, but now it costs 700 yuan, and some are even higher, and the ups and downs are unstable.
In addition, if you send a parcel from Sister Mu to Mandalay, it is generally between 700/800 kyats per kilogram, and it is currently rising to between 5,000 kyats and 7,000 kyats per kilogram. Mujie locals said that most of the towns and villages in Mujie County, which mainly rely on Mujie City to buy food and fuel, are facing food shortages, medical supplies shortages and fuel shortages due to the blockade of roads due to the war. At present, the blockade of important transportation arteries in northern Shan State has been affected by the fighting, and it is very inconvenient for people to travel and travel.
This series of problems has not only greatly affected the lives of local residents, but also made the economic situation of the entire region more and more tense. #Breaking news# #我要上微头条#
