Putao District Town Concerned by Conscription Orders

Residents of Naungmon (Nogmung) Town in Putao District, northern Kachin State have become concerned after they were informed that people from the town would be conscripted.

On 7 February 2025, the junta-appointed township administration officer of Naungmon Town, the administrative centre of Naungmon Township, gathered residents together at a school in the town’s Ward 5 and told them that men of conscription age from the town would have to serve in the army.
