Starting with the arrest of the Khaing Yoo Wai charity organization and demands for ransom, the demands for an operation to clean up the armed groups based in Bagan and Pappa have expanded.

Starting with the arrest of the Khaing Roe Wai Charity Organization and demand for ransom, the demands to clear the armed groups based in Bagan and Pappa through operations have expanded. On the morning of May 13th, the charity group led by Khaing Roo Wai made offerings at the Poppa Taung Club event, and left from Poppa to Bagan in two Alphard cars along the Byattapasa road. Until the evening of that day, the two cars did not arrive in Bagan and all the phones were disconnected. According to news reports, when the charity group led by Khaing Roo Wai was leaving from Poppa to Bagan, a car that was not accompanied by Khaing Roo Wai was arrested by an armed group. The car was seized by a PDF group operating in the Bagan region, and the group demanded a payment of 1,800,000 kyats per member, according to reports on social media. Regarding the incident, Khine Hnin Wai posted a post on the Khine Hnin Wai Facebook account that he uses today (May 16) with the title "The luckiest time in my life".He said he wanted to eat a boiled egg, so he held his hand and fed it with steamed rice thinking he was hungry..The staff car that came with him did not enter the shop and continued to drive towards Bagan..(15) minutes later, a message came into his phone saying that the car was stopped by unknown gangs on "Byatta Paset Road" and the connection was cut off...I'm back.. I and all the employees are safe and comfortable.. Let's all be careful about everything and stay safe from all harm," he wrote. About this incident, a TikTok social media person said, "Pagan security has been breached for a long time. Now people are coming after the Khaing Yue case. Some Bagan pilgrims are often kidnapped. They were ransomed for thousands of dollars. There is one thing that is surprising. No one dares to complain about those kidnapped subjects. Why do you think about it? Homeland addresses, businesses, and friends that are difficult to move.It was found that he was tied up with his brothers and threatened. making friends I was afraid enough to open up. Even though they are committing such a bold crime, the local authorities are not trying to suppress it. It is only because they are not trying to make it effective that they are still being kidnapped like the group of Khaing Yue Wai," he wrote. The above TikTok account states that the locals know that the world-famous city of Bagan is stuck like a ghost town because of these kidnappers. In the Bagan-Nyang-U-Kyakphataung areas, the government is making such constructions for the safety of tourists. Robber A Bagan resident said that they are responsible for suppressing the kidnappers. As a result of the frequent occurrence of such kidnappings, local residents have questioned the actions of local authorities, as well as making accusations against the local authorities. "Actually, this problem started with the rampant PDFs. Now, instead of accusing PDFs, the people who are doing it are mainly villagers who have been kidnapped and taken away. I've heard stories of whole villages stealing cows. It's not a story. We were actually at the horse farm. Bee Village is a famous thief-taker. Seeing cows being dragged in the search, we never find them. The whole village unites and gives them away, almost a whole village."There is a village where people cheat. I wrote about it in the ghost hunting article. Therefore, I want the whole village to check the return issue. All the people in the village are stupid and don't ask who knows. One by one, The person who will tell the truth will appear," said a horse farm resident One wrote. It does not mean that Bagan Nyong Oo is involved with the local authorities in this incident, but there are criticisms that he has ignored the many thousands of kyats of restitution that has been happening in his hands for a long time, and there are also suggestions that he should be closely scrutinized to see if he has really been ignored. A Nyaung Oo resident said, "The excuse of not knowing or not knowing is not enough. Even we hear the complaints of the vendors in the dry Bagan markets, and the local authorities should listen more. It is good to clean up such villages like the nawata era. Let's learn how to clean them. It's not a different era. It's easy to mix and match with PDF. The returns are also mixed with PDF.
