Aung Zeya, etc. are having high yield paddy fields and they have to sell 
paddy for the Army ration at the rate of (7) baskets (Tinn) per acre 
accord Rangoon to meet and discuss with leaders of SPDC regarding 
Chin National Day programs. No agreement is reached so far. 
In that programme, a Chin National Day memorial stone pillar will erect in 
Tamu. Everybody can inscribe the names of their late family members on 
that stone pillars by donating 5000 Kyats for a name to the celebrating
committee.
