Last Day of Operation - Mandalay Nantwin PO

We have learnt that Mandalay Nantwin post office was permanently closed in 2019.  Its last day of operation is 31 August.  Ko Sein Min prepared and made some "Last Day of Operation" covers.  Thanks for Ko Sein Minn for his efforts.  Mandalay Nantwin, Man Nantwin in short, has two postmarks used in last day.  I want to record the covers in this post.
