THE Haka-Thantlang Road in Chin State has been reopened after security forces regained control of the route following security operations against CNF and CDF insurgent groups.
Authorities said insurgents had previously disrupted transport links, damaged public infrastructure and hindered rehabilitation efforts in the area, causing delays to the movement of goods and reconstruction materials.
Following the recapture of Thantlang in October 2023, efforts were made to restore stability and support regional recovery. However, continued disruptions along transport routes affected trade and reconstruction activities.
Security forces launched security activities along the Hakha– Thantlang corridor on 4 June. During the operation, they regained control of Point 1921 on 6 June, Point 2069 on 7 June and Tower Hill Camp on 8 June before securing the entire route on the evening of 9 June.
With the road reopened, cargo vehicles and travellers can once again use the route, improving the flow of goods and easing transport difficulties in the region.
Authorities said mine-clearance activities and assistance for displaced residents returning to their communities are also under way, while rehabilitation and development projects will continue with support from the government and local communities. — MNA/KZL
