The bones of Japanese soldiers who died during Second World War will be searched in Kachin, Kayin and Mon States, the searching group leader U Than Zaw said to Travelling Journal.

There are so many factors in Mokaung, Kachin State. We make such searching for bones depending on the previous data. It will be exact and we do not need to make survey if there were ex-veterans. In this year, we keep on searching in Mon State, Phekhone in Kayah State, Yenanchaung, Chauk, Pyay, Paungde, Bago, Taungoo from Mandalay and Magwe Regions. We make all the findings in 2020, he added.

The process for searching bones is made in States and Regions across Myanmar. It is also learnt that there remains about 67000 Japanese soldiers who died in Second War World according to the report. The association of searching bones of Japanese soldiers is now carrying out the findings and it is under the Japan Association for Recovery and Repatriation of War Casualties.
