NAY PYI TAW, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar's House of Representatives (Lower House) on Tuesday accepted to debate on an important proposal expressing grave concern over the current tense situation in northern part of the country in conflicts, according to parliament sources.
The proposal blamed that the incident in northern Myanmar is affecting the state sovereignty, rule of law as well as peace and stability.
The combined forces of three ethnic armed groups were intentionally attacking and planting mines in a number of areas in the north, causing casualties with the government armed forces members, police and innocent people, said Dr Man Tin, an MP of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) who submitted the proposal.
He added that the conflicts have brought about up to 3,700 refugees with six bridges and the union highway being destroyed.
