EFFORTS for relief and recovery continued with total momentum in regions and states inflicted by flooding, including Nay Pyi Taw Council Area.

These activities cover flood-stricken towns and villages in states and regions, including Zeyathiri, Pyinmana, Tatkon, Lewe, and Pobbathiri townships within the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, as well as in southern Shan State’s Kalaw Township, Kayah State’s Loikaw Township, and Bago Region’s Toungoo Township.

Assistance is provided to relocate essential items for monasteries, schools, hospitals, and government buildings, while sanitation work is carried out on local roads, bridges, and villages. Tatmadaw members, police officers, firefighters, Red Cross members, and social welfare groups actively cooperate with residents to remove debris and fallen trees, ensuring safety and cleanliness.

In addition, temporary shelters are providing necessary health care services and awareness programes to flood victims. Contributions from Tatmadaw families, government departments, organizations, and donors include essential supplies such as clothing, food, and funds. Donations are also extended to monasteries and monks in these areas.

State and Region chief ministers, commanders of military commands, and officials have visited the impacted areas, providing further support and coordination to meet local needs. Relief items, food, and financial assistance continue to be distributed.

Furthermore, efforts to repair damaged roads and bridges due to the flooding are ongoing. Temporary steel Bailey bridges are being installed as replacements while repair work on other damaged bridges progresses rapidly.
