Although women are eligible for military service under the People's Military Service Law, there has been no plan to call up female civil service personnel, said Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun, spokesperson for the State Administration Council (SAC).

After the SAC announced that the People's Military Service Law came into effect in 2024, a total of nearly 7 million men and women are eligible for military service.

Men were called up for military service under the People's Military Service Law, and they had been recruited up to 9th batch. But women have not been summoned up to now for military service.

However, social network pages and several quarters are reporting that women are being called up for military service.

" As for me, to tell you clearly, although the People's Military Service Law and Regulations apply to women for military service, there has been no plan to call up women for military service." said Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun.

Inquiries regarding issues related to conscription or recruitment for military service and complaints regarding irregularities could be reported accurately, he added.
