Myawaddy border trade reopens

RANGOON: -- The Myawaddy trade border was reopened yesterday as the trading had stopped over the previous week due to the continued clashes that occurred between rebels and the military along the Kawkareik–Myawady road on July 5 and 6.

The New Asia Highway has been closed off due to the fights between the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA) and the government army column on July 2 near the new Myawaddy-Dawna mountain-range road. In addition, the use of old road was stopped as of July 5.

Due to the clashes, the public has expressed concerns about spikes in basic commodity prices.

“ On July 9, passengers’ vehicles and trucks ascended from the old road so also trucks descended on July 10 through the old road. Only passengers’ cars were allowed from the new road. We are very pleased as we came from new road and we arrived within a short time. Moreover, we don’t need to pay tour gate fee,” said an identified driver from Myawaddy.
