Lashio residents are worried about the news that the MNDAA will withdraw and the military council will take control again. If the military council returns to power, many residents who worked with the MNDAA will be arrested. They are also worried that they will be conscripted into the military. However, many residents who worked under the MNDAA have no plans to join the MNDAA. If the military council comes in, they will have to leave the city. Currently, the Lashio General Hospital is moving medical supplies to the MNDAA-controlled city of Sindhi. The hospital has also been closed. The future of Lashio is filled with uncertainty and fear.
