Restoration Council of Shan State/Shan State Army (RCSS/SSA) officially handed seized narcotic drugs and vehicles over to the Tatmadaw on January 18, according to the statement by the RCSS. 

The statement said the handover of seized narcotic drugs would further strengthen cooperation between the government, military and the RCSS. As the agreements reached under the state-and Union-level ceasefire agreements and the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), the RCSS has been making constant efforts for the fights against narcotic drugs as much as it can.  

On January 13, the members of the RCSS seized 78,141 stimulant tablets and 10.28 kg of heroin packed with soap cups on Kyaukme-Monglon road in Kyaukme Township. According to the scrutiny, the seized narcotic drugs were brought from Kaungkhar region in Kutkai Township. 

The handover reflects the RCSS’s accountability, responsibility and transparency in serving the interest of the public over anti-narcotic works.
