Authorities have continued dismantling illegal buildings used for online fraud and illegal gambling activities in Shwe Kokko.
The government said 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 activities. Equipment used in such operations has also been systematically destroyed, and 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 77 buildings identified for removal, including 57 scheduled to be demolished using machinery and 33 designated for demolition by explosive means.
Officials confirmed that three buildings have been demolished so far. The remaining illegal structures will continue to be dismantled in subsequent phases.
The 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 becoming re-established in Myanmar.
