Citizenship Affairs: Union Minister Makes Inspections in Yangon

Union Minister for Immigration and Population U Myint Kyaing visited Thaketa Township of Yangon Region on Friday and observed the staff at the Township Immigration and Population Office carrying out the Phase 3 of the 'Pankhin' project.

This project involves providing local residents whose household population lists and Citizenship Scrutiny Cards (CSC) are damaged or lost, as well as those who have not yet received a CSC. Subsequently, the Union Minister toured the township office, made inspection, instructed the officials to strive diligently to ensure the security of documents and equipment, and to complete the immediate priority tasks related to the department for successfully holding the election within the prescribed timeframe.

He also coordinated and fulfilled the necessary requirements based on the reports presented. Following this, the Union Minister toured and inspected the work being carried out at the temporary offices for Yambye and Pauktaw townships in order to conveniently issue Household Lists and Citizenship Scrutiny Cards to those who were temporarily displaced due to the violent incidents in Rakhine State.

This work is being carried out under the Pankhin Project Phase 3 and involves the issuance of Unique ID numbers through the e-ID system.
