Description: "Between the townships of Kalemyo and Minkin (Sagaing Division) there is a long narrow row of hills under the jurisdiction of the Western Division which is the dwelling place of the Auk-stan Zomi Chin people.

Title: NLD Statement: 44/2000
Description: "We have heard about the hardship that cultivators are experiencing in the Kungyan- gone township Rangoon Division because of the low price fixed for the "duty paddy" which has to be supplied to the authorities. Because cost of basic needs are so exorbitant, they are unable to supply the quota demanded. Cultivators who really and truly cannot comply are threatened with imprisonment, penalties and revocation of cultivation permits. Some of them have been abused and taken away to the police stations where they are made to sign documents and even held there for certain periods..."
