The Myanmar junta transferred control of the General Administration Department (GAD) the backbone of the country’s public administrative mechanism back to its Home Affairs Ministry on Wednesday.
The transfer of the department comes as the regime pushes to revive the neighborhood surveillance networks utilized by successive military governments.
Under a policy implemented by the GAD, residents of some townships in Yangon Region were recently forced to register overnight guests staying in their homes in a move designed to make it harder for opponents of the regime to evade arrest.
