(RANGOON Burma Times) - According to the villagers of Atwin Nga Tay village tract, City peace and development council (Ma-Ya-Ka) and land registry has released a notification to submit petition for the confiscated Rohingya land.

The land was confiscated for the military and for a Buddhist pagoda, in 1988 and 1994. There were hundreds of acres of land that were confiscated for battalions and one hundred acres for the pagoda that is located in Dom Pine village, a Buddhist village near the Kin Daung village tract.

In fact it belonged to Kin Daung villagers.

The land which was seized for the pagoda was allocated at two acres for every family of the Dom Pine villagers (Buddhists) last May.

Incredibly, the City peace & development council and land registry have sent letters to the village administrator of kin Daung about submitting a petition for the confiscated land of kin Daung villagers before the second of December. The petition Is for the hundred acre property located around the pagoda. Unfortunately there is not any declaration of the government official for other villagers about submitting petition for their confiscated land.

But the villagers are worried that if the notification turns out to be fake (i.e it is the show off of the Myanmar authority for the international community). Here, I mentioned some villager's names and their confiscated lands are list below.

1. Mv Alijuhar s/o Zar Ali one acre
2. AshawZawma s/o Furuk Ahmed four acre
3. Mazalal s/o Adusawbi four acre
4. Abjulla two acre
5. Md Sultan s/o Sayedakbar 24 acre
6. Ayup Khan s/o Md Khan two acre
7. Md Zama s/o Furuk ahmed two acre
8. Dil Mohamed s/o Furuk ahmed two acre
9. Ali Ahmed s/o Mogul Ahmed three acre, etc.

There are hundreds of villagers who have lost their land; they are from Kin Daung, Atwin nga tay, Sein Daung, Tankyak kan, Lay Myro, Dabru Chaung, Nanra Goon villages and so on.
