132. Construction of a considerable number of new single structures or very small groups

constructed in 3 village tracts which were destroyed previously, namely Shein Kar Li, Hla

(Buthidaung) and Chein Khar Li in Koe Tan Kauk village tract (Rathedaung). Minor
infrastructure construction was identified in Yae Myet Taung and Gaw Du Thar Ra (Ywar
Thit Kay) in Maungdaw Township. In Gu Dar Pyin, in addition to the new houses, built in
November 2018, more than 50 additional structures were built on the areas destroyed in
September 2017. In the north between the villages of Hla Poe Kaung and Shein Kar Li,
Maungadaw Township, a total of 120 structures were detected forming a possible reception
centre planned in the area. This area is near the resettlement camp constructed by March

Nyar village tract. In Chein Khar Li, a new site under construction was identified that
would possibly accommodate 50 structures.242
