OFFICIALS from the Ywangan Township Rural Development Department, Danu Self-Admin­istered Zone, Shan State (South), conducted a field inspection of a pipeline installation project in Htaminpaung Village, yesterday.

The project aims to mit­igate summer water scarcity and ensure a year-round sup­ply of clean drinking water for rural residents. During the visit, Ywangan Township Rural De­velopment Department Head U Thein Myat Htaik and engineers inspected the ongoing installa­tion of a 3,800-foot-long water pipeline connecting the water source to the village.

Following the inspection, the Township Head met with village officials to emphasize the im­portance of engineering works and ensuring timely completion within the timeframe. He also coordinated and addressed the suggestions and requirements presented by the local villagers.

The water supply project is being implemented with an al­located Union budget of K22.31 million. Executed through a collaborative effort between engineers from the Township Rural Development Depart­ment and villagers since the first week of May, the project has now reached approximately 30 per cent completion. — Cho Than Nyunt (Rural)
