March 27, 2025

HURFOM: Local villagers reported HURFOM that six-wheel dump trucks from the junta’s international airport and seaport in Mudon, Township, Mon State have been creating transportation hardship to local residents since early March, 2025.

The junta hired ten six-wheel dump trucks for the project operation and each truck earns from 60,000 MMK to 80,000 MMK depending on their number of transportations.

In order to get a greater number of transportations, the truck drivers are driving their truck recklessly and quickly creating transportation threat to local villagers.

“There are about ten dump trucks. If they can transport soil many times, they can earn more money. So they’re driving fast to get more times of transportation. They’re also driving the truck recklessly. The local villagers dare not travel on the road and they have to drive their vehicles beside the road,” said a local villager.

Moreover, the dump truck drivers stole soil from the land plots of the local residents and sold it to the project companies.

“Last month, the truck drivers dug soil from the nearby land plot and sold it to the companies’ staff. We don’t know how they handle the problem. Now, no one said about that,” continued the resident.

The airport and seaport project is located between Bloud Nyaung Wine and Well Ka Lee villages, Mudon Township and the project area is 4,626.29 acres. The project operation has started in November, 2024.
