Union Minister for Home Affairs Lt-Gen Tun Tun Naung, accompanied by Myanmar Police Force Chief Police Lt-Gen Win Zaw Moe and the ministry’s Permanent Secretary U Khaing Htun Oo conducted an inspection tour yesterday morning to assess the rehabilitation status of earthquake-affected buildings under the Ministry of Home Affairs, including temporary shelters and container houses constructed for staff members and their families.
The Union minister and the delegation first visited an open plot near Office 45 in Zabuthiri Township, Nay Pyi Taw Council Area, where temporary shelter buildings are being erected and checked on the construction progress. They also observed the renovation works undertaken at Office 10 of the Ministry of Home Affairs, which sustained damage during the earthquake. They also reviewed the placement and installation of temporary shelters at the nearby vacant plot of land.
The inspection continued to the DNA Forensics Office compound in Wunnatheidi Ward, Zabuthiri Township, where further temporary shelters are under construction. The Union minister and officials then proceeded to Dekkhinathiri Township, where they inspected the installation of container houses on land owned by the Myanmar Police Force inside the Gems and Jewellery Market compound.
Furthermore, the team visited Ywathit Village in Pyinmana Township, where completed temporary shelters and ongoing installation of container houses were observed within the police outpost and entertainment sub-office compound. Officials on the ground provided detailed briefings at each inspection point.
Following the presentations, the Union minister stressed that all reconstruction of ministry buildings must meet standard operating procedures (SOPs) and prescribed quality benchmarks. He emphasized that all temporary shelters and container houses must be equipped with proper access to water, electricity and sanitation systems. He also instructed officials to ensure proper drainage systems to prevent waterlogging and to reinforce access roads using graded soil materials.
The Union minister urged the timely completion of all construction works and called on relevant officials to coordinate closely and address any emerging needs during the rebuilding process.
