YANGON, April 3 (NNN-BERNAMA-XINHUA) \u00a0— A dusk-to-dawn curfew was imposed in five townships in Myanmar’s western Rakhine state starting from Tuesday, a Rakhine state parliamentary representative told Xinhua on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five townships covered by the curfew are Yathedaung, Ponnagyun, Kyauktaw, Mrauk U and Minpya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The curfew, which takes effect from 9 pm local time to 5 am local time, will last about two months, said U Khin Maung Latt, parliamentary representative from Rakhine state to the House of Nationalities (Upper House).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dusk-to-dawn curfew bans people from going to public roads and designated areas of the five townships at night time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The imposition of the curfew came as terrorists in Rakhine state, disguised as civilians, launched attacks on security forces recently, respective township administrations said in their statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attacks have resulted in casualties and destruction of civilian houses, the statements said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curfew has been in place in Maungtaw and Buthidaung townships in the state since 2016 until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
