.Maungdaw, Arakan State: A commander in Burma’s border security force Nasaka in Area 5 of Maungdaw Township has been accused of cheating villagers out of wages earned for work done on a road construction project, according to a school teacher from the area.
Major Than Naing, Nasaka commander of Area 5, and his officers have been accused of coercing villagers to work on a road-building project along the Bangladesh-Burma border but refusing to pay workers for their labor.
One local village leader said that the general engineering team in charge of the project had already disbursed money to Nasaka commanders in the amount of 2,000 kyats per day for each worker, but that authorities were only paying 700 kyats per day and keeping the rest.
Nasaka’s Area 5 camp controls 10 villages, which include Nan Chaung, Pawet Chaung, Myaw Taung, Dagri Za, Sarawet, Longa Daung, Redwin Chaung, Kyar Gung Taung (Rabeila), Rekwet Chaung Kwason and Zin Bin Nya.
