Union Minister
for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr Win Myat Aye said after the
damages and losses caused by ARSA extremist terrorists, redevelopment of
Maungtaw region will be implemented according to Natural Disaster Management
Law.
The Union
Minister said this in a National Natural Disaster Management Committee’s
Coordination meeting held yesterday afternoon at state guest house, Sittway,
Rakhine State. The meeting was attended by Union Minister for Social Welfare,
Relief and Resettlement Dr Win Myat Aye, Rakhine State Chief Minister U Nyi Pu,
state ministers and departmental officials.
At the meeting,
Union Minister Dr Win Myat Aye said, “There is a need to follow a law in
managing the redevelopment works for terrorist acts that had occurred. In some
places, it became a burnt land. According to the law, burnt lands become a
government managed lands. The law that governs burnt law is national disaster
management law. Although the name of the law is natural disaster management
law, according to the definition in the law, disaster covers all (disasters)
and therefore this law will be used. The area will be defined as a land facing
disaster caused by terrorist act. Redevelopment works will be according to the
enacted rules. If the redevelopment works were conducted as prescribed by the
rule, it will be very effective.
That is why it
will be implemented according to Natural Disaster Management Law and Natural
Disaster Management Rule.”
The Natural
Disaster Management Law was enacted in 2013 and Natural Disaster Management
Rule was enacted in 2015. Based on Natural Disaster Management Law, National
Natural Disaster Management Committee was formed with Vice President U Henry
Van Thio as Committee Chairman, Union Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and
Resettlement Dr Win Myat Aye as Vice Chairman and union level ministers as committee
members it is learnt.
