DUE to heavy rainfall in Kachin State, the Nagmon–Pannandin Maykha River crossing suspension bridge (for pedestrian use), measuring 340 feet in length and six feet in width, was swept away on 31 May as a result of a sudden rise in the water level of the Maykha River in Nagmon Township.

According to reports, officials promptly carried out the reconstruction of the Pannandin suspension bridge. The rebuilding work was completed on 4 June, and local residents are now able to use the bridge again.

In addition, Kachin State Chief Minister U Khet Htein Nan, together with relevant officials, inspected five trucks loaded with rice, cooking oil, salt, pulses, and other foodstuffs, which were prepared for flood-affected residents of Pannandin and Htalathu village in Nagmon Township. Officials also provided financial support to those responsible for the aid effort. The relief trucks departed from PutaO yesterday morning to deliver supplies to the affected communities.
