“You can’t issue permission for wooden house form mud shack and didn’t allow extending the measurement of original.”
To get permission, Rohingya has to pay more than one million kyats depend on the type of house. It is only for Rohingy community, not for other, said an elder from Maungdaw.
If there is no official order for building, how the Township administration officer restricted the village admin officers in the meeting, the elder added.

But the authority is asking money to repair their home. So, no money no repair.”
