was occurred near

When they crossed the river, they faced the danger of RPG
(Rocket Propelled Grenades)and
serious head-on clashes took place as the TNLAs IB 112 waited in
position.
There were no casualties from the TNLAs IB 112 and they
eventually were able to move to a
safer location to take up their defense using guerilla warfare,

Khunsar.
The Pansay Peoples Militia is the group behind the extensive
drug trafficking in and around
the Namkham area in northern Shan State. They have been
facilitating the cultivation of
Opium and the production of Yaba and Amphetamines for sale and
distribution throughout
Burma since 1998. The leader of the Peoples Militia is an
elected member of parliament.
Under the leadership and implementation of the narcotic drug
eradication plan of the
Central Committee of PSLF; the TNLA IB 112 raided drug smugglers
from the Lorkhu Peoples
Militia troops on the 8th
September. The TNLA IB 112 troops seized arms from the
Peoples
Militia troop and gave them a stern warning to discontinue the
smuggling of drugs in the
area.
They were irritated with our actions so the Pansay Peoples
Militia troops allied with Bur ma
army IB 45 took and took serious action on Ta'ang troops.
Currently, they are moving
wounded soldiers to safer locations.
