Burma's military junta's second leader Vice Senior General Maung Aye will tour the Cyclone-ravaged Irrawaddy delta on Friday, a source in the military establishment said. The information received from a highly placed source in the Burmese military establishment, however, cannot be independently verified. The source said, the Junta's second man, who has been engaged with administrative works in Nay Pyi Taw, Burma's new capital, did not indicate which town in the delta he would be visiting. Maung Aye has been off public scene, making only one appearance during the meeting between Junta leaders Senior General Than Shwe and visiting the UN chief Ban Ki-moon, after the deathly cyclone torn the country in May 2 – 3. < Prev   Next >
