Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC), stated that support funds will be provided at the rate of 20,000 kyats per person per month for those who have been temporarily displaced due to the conflict situations.

The Chief Ministers of Regions and States should also work towards ensuring stability and peace in their respective territories, as well as promoting the development of social and economic life.”
