Evicted families promised land but face food, supply shortfall
Thousands of Myanmar families evicted from military-owned land have been promised new plots in exchange for the 560 acres they were allegedly squatting on. The minister for security and border affairs in Yangon said the government has a compensation plan, but was light on the exact details.
Minister Colonel Tin Aung Tun said the Mingalardon township squatters will be scrutinised to determine who owns land elsewhere and who does not. Those without any other land will be compensated with land elsewhere.
