The Burmese military on Thursday rejected a request from local farmers in southern Shan State to continue farming on more than 200 acres of land in Pekon Township.

The Burmese military’s 422^nd Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) announced last week that farmers of Moe Byae village are barred from working on the land and if they continue to do so, they will face legal action.
