Military Council urges people to pay electricity bills and be good citizens

Major General Zaw Min Tun, the spokesman for the Military Council, said that electricity bills would have to be paid and people should act like good citizens.

Major General Zaw Min Tun was speaking at a news conference in Naypyidaw on July 12.

Zaw Min Tun said that some people take unfair advantage of disorder because they did not want to pay their electricity bills.

As a protest against the Military Council, people have been on strike for almost five months without paying their electricity bills, and the junta is forcing them to pay them.

The Military Council has cut off the electricity of some houses and apartments that do not pay electricity bills, whereas a series of bomb blasts have taken place at some Electricity Power Corporation (EPC) offices.
