Pat Ja San abandons poppy field mission
A Group of Christian hard-line anti-drug vigilantes on 28 February abandoned plans to destroy poppy fields in an area of Kachin State after clashes broke out between their members and armed attackers in the past week.
Pat Ja San, which is known for flogging drug users, said it was calling off the mission in mountainous Kachin State because local police and military said they could not provide protection.
