Military troops have been positioned in Sat Yoe Kya creek for security after the AA’s attack on a Navy’s vessel that’s anchored in the creek near Kyay Daw village in July; this impacts local residents’ businesses in nearby villages.
Locals are concerned about being detained if they travel at night, so fishermen do not go fishing at night.
Even construction workers have experienced difficulties to do their business because they have to stop their work earlier than normal.
“Previously, masons were working until late night. They now return home earlier, at about 6 p.m,” said Daw Ma Thein, a local resident from Kyay Daw village.
Fishermen can still go fishing, but it depends on the times of the tide. They go fishing at noon but it doesn’t improve their income, villagers from fishing industry said.
“Even though this is our homeland it, we’re worried about our safety and security. We can only work during the daylight hours,” said U Maung Kyaw Khin, a fisherman from Kyay Daw village.
Following the attack on Navy’s vessels on 22 July, about 10 people from nearby affected areas were detained for interrogation.
