A large volume of Dagon brand alcohol along with beer cans & bottles,promoted by the Myanmar military council, was destroyed by the local public defense forces with the help ofa heavy vehicle, said a report fromKhin Oo township's truth reporting team.

“The bottles of Dagon beer, produced by U Pai, were found in some areas. We too want to discourage peoplefrom using those military products,”said a local police officer.

Over 11,040 cans of beer and 780 bottles of alcohol were intercepted as those were transported by threecars. Crushed and destroyed on 20 Maylast, the total value of these alcoholic drinks should be over Kyats 40 million.

PDF leadership of Khin Oo township had already warned the local people not to use the military government'sproducts. The public defense forcesseized those items and later those were destroyed.

Pro-democracy activities across Myanmar continue organizing protest demonstrations since the military coup.They asserted that the militarycouncil earns revenues from those products and then they buy arms & ammunition only to slaughterthe common people.
