The malicious media intentionally spread fake information, claiming that, Samon dam breach flooded over 20 villages in Wandwin Township of Mandalay Region, and the urgent assistance was needed.
According to the Irrigation Department, there was no dam breach, and if it needs to drain the dam water, the department has to report to the superior level and release notices for the residents, and evacuate them. Moreover, the members of Tatmadaw, Myanmar Police Force, social organizations and well-wishers carry out recuse work and relocation processes daily. The malicious media spread false news to impose fear among the public. — MNA/KTZH
