Myanmar’s armed forces have completed their handover of the country’s drug rehabilitation centres under the Ministry of Home Affairs to the government, in the latest move by the military officers to transfer some of the services under its auspices to civilian control, RFA reported.

The centres have been switched over to the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, Minister Win Myat Aye told reporters following a workshop in Naypyidaw.

The move is the first administrative transfer by the military-controlled home affairs ministry to the National League for Democracy-led government, which has been in power since April 2016.
