Thousands of villagers are on the verge of despair threatened as they are of being displaced by the Burmese ruling junta's second largest hydroelectric power project site in Kachin State in Northern Burma. The construction company has issued notices to the people and are pressurizing them to relocate, local sources said.
The villages in Washapa and upper Nyawngmawpa valley near Chibwe hydroelectric power project site in N'mai Hka River also called May Kha River are being pressurized to relocate away from the project site by the Asia World Company since December, last year, villagers said.
There are thousands of Kachins in Washapa and Nyawngmawpa valleys which are in under the control of the main Kachin ceasefire group, Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) and are situated west of N'mai Hka in the Triangle Area, said villagers.
However, no village in those areas has moved yet, the villagers said.
