Gokteik Viaduct lies on Mandalay-Lashio road linking Naung Cho and Kyauk Mare townships in Shan State (North). TNLA EAO terror-ists are currently committing vari-ous acts of terror around these two townships and on the communica-tions infrastructure around them, as Tatmadaw forces push them out of these territories.
On the morning of August 24, they used explosives to blow up 125 years old Gokteik Viaduct — one of Myan-mar’s significant landmarks and a world wonder. The viaduct’s ap-proach structure on the Kyauk Mare side, pier No P 16, and a 60-foot section of steel deck between ap-proach structure and the pier were damaged.
Various semi-governmental and NGO within the country put up an-nouncements on national papers condemning TNLA and its actions.
