Tachileik 10 May

A total of 15 Myanmar migrant workers were repatriated by Thai authority to Myanmar counterparts at Myanmar-Thai Friendship Bridge-2 in Tachileik, Eastern Shan State this afternoon.

Officials from Immigration Department, Township General Administration Department, Anti-Trafficking Police Force, Caring and Negotiating Committee for Myanmar Citizens (CNCMC) received the migrant workers. Next, the officials from Department of Public Health checked the migrant workers whether they were infected with the coronavirus.

The migrant workers were sent back due to the expiry of their cross border pass and illegal stay in Thailand without proper documents.
