Authorities in Myanmar have demolished 333 illegal buildings in the KK Park area as part of an ongoing nationwide crackdown on telecom fraud and online gambling operations.Â
According to state-owned Global New Light of Myanmar, the government said Monday that the combined task force—comprising security forces, administrative departments, and local authorities—continues to dismantle structures linked to illicit activities in Shwe Kokko and the Myawady–Maethawtalay (KK Park) zone.
Officials confirmed that 12 additional buildings were demolished on Sunday in KK Park, including two four-story structures and 10 two-story properties allegedly used for online gambling and telecom scam operations. This brings the total number of demolished buildings in KK Park to 333 out of 635 identified illegal structures.
A parallel operation has been underway in nearby Shwe Kokko since November 18th. To date, authorities have inspected 169 of 694 buildings believed to be linked to similar criminal activities. Of those, 161 have been sealed to prevent reuse.
Seized equipment and materials from both sites have been systematically incinerated to ensure they cannot support further scam operations, the report said. The Illegal Foreigner Investigation Team has also been verifying the identities of foreign nationals detained during the raids, collecting personal data and documentation to facilitate their repatriation.
The government reiterated that eliminating telecom fraud and online gambling is a national priority and pledged continued cooperation with domestic agencies and neighboring countries to prevent criminal networks from re-establishing operations within Myanmar.
