THE Ministry of Industry is making efforts to restart the steel plant project as soon as possible due to the high cost of steel import each year. 

Union Minister for Industry Dr Charlie Than said the steel plant project must be restarted sooner since Myanmar has to import a large volume of irons and steels for industries, constructions, small, medium, and large enterprises every year, costing large amounts of foreign currency. 

During his visit to No 1 Steel Plant in Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region on 16 August, he inspected the status of the steel plant construction, installation of machinery, and steel raw materials.

 

The Union Minister said it is necessary to check and repair the equipment that has been suspended for a long time, to carry out the remaining part of the construction with a systematic drawn-up, to regularly conduct the repair works to prevent damage to the installed machines, to do organized human resource management for each plant as the project activities will be restarted with paying special attention to occupational safety.
