HURFOM: After imposing martial law in Ye Township, Mon State, the General Administration Department has banned local residents from going outside between 6 pm and 6 am.

The military junta has also issued a new restriction on “the time of riding motorbike”.

A local villager told HURFOM that the military junta will only allow the riding of motorbikes between 8 am and 4 pm in Ye Township.

“After martial law has been imposed, we’re in trouble with going to our plantation. Now, they’ve limited the time for riding motorbikes so we’ll have more and more difficulty. It’s not okay to go to work in the morning,” said a Ye resident.
