The situation on the Ayeyarwady River Bridge connecting Mandalay and Sagaing is getting worse. The military junta is pulling the porters almost every day, so young people who go to work from Sagaing to Mandalay have to take time off work. Local passenger transport lines have also been suspended. Sagaing is also quiet and free from traffic.
What’s worse is that the porters are pulling the porters on the bridge, so people who cross the river by boat and rowboat from under the bridge are also being caught at the port and pulled by the military junta. Since the area is a place for people to pass through, it is convenient for the military junta to pull the porters as they please.
