It has been reported that a question was raised in the regional parliament regarding the recruitment of youths in Mandalay City for military service in a manner resembling human trafficking, and their subsequent release for money. During the second regular session of the third Mandalay Region Hluttaw, held on June 10th, U Ko Ko Htwe, the representative of Constituency (1) for the Mandalay Region Hluttaw from Chanayethazan Township, stated in his question, "We want to know if there is a plan to supervise and manage the activities of those operating under the name of People's Militia who are not cooperating with the Tatmadaw within Mandalay City." "There are People's Militia groups organized by the state for village security and public safety in Mandalay City. Given the current situation in Mandalay City, it is necessary to disband these People's Militia groups or integrate them into village security organizations, and their weapons should be returned to the Tatmadaw. There is no need for fighting in Mandalay City. The existence of those operating under the name of People's Militia is questionable, and this refers to groups that engage in illegal activities for profit, not to the People's Militia who have cooperated with the Tatmadaw. Whether for military conscription or for the People's Militia, they are driving unregistered vehicles, carrying firearms both legally and illegally, and are being arbitrarily apprehended everywhere in the city like a market, in a manner resembling human trafficking and in violation of the law. We want to know what kind of support the elected government can provide to the citizens of Mandalay City who are living in fear and insecurity," he questioned. In response to the question, Major General Ne Lin Soe, the Minister of Security and Border Affairs, replied, "The relevant command units are also supervising to ensure that the People's Militia adhere to the 13 rules of conduct. People's Militia who do not comply with the prescribed regulations and those who do not obey orders are being dealt with according to the law. If there are complaints about the actions of undisciplined People's Militia, they will be effectively dealt with according to the law." "What is happening on the ground is that we had to release two children who were underage students and had been taken for military service. Another issue is that working children, at night, do not know who, which organization, or in which direction they will be taken, so the children are insecure. They are afraid to go out at night, which is why I am asking. The minister said that if they complain to him, he will take effective action. However, when they are arrested, we do not know which organization arrested them. When we go to get them released, we do not know who sent them, so we do not know who to complain to. In our Maha Aung Myay District, 250 members of the People's Security and Anti-Terrorism (P.L.K.P.) special training course, personally trained by the minister, have graduated. With these organizations in existence, are the People's Militia going to be armed and present in the city? We have raised these points to be scrutinized," explained U Ko Ko Htwe regarding the reason for his question.
