Reconstruction of homes in Maungtaw commences



October 26, 2017
Villages destroyed in terrorist attacks by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) are being rebuilt. A stake-driving ceremony was held yesterday to officially start construction of 86 houses in Thittonenargwa village tract.

Attending the ceremony were Ayeyawady Region Chief Minister Mahn Johnny, Region Hluttaw Speaker and Rakhine State governmental personnel.
The Region Chief Minister met with local Mro villagers and said that ethnic people should be united especially when the times are challenging and important. This trip to provide help and cooperation with works of the Government is also important, the region chief minister said.
The Rakhine State Minister for Electric Power, Industry and Transport U Aung Kyaw Zan said that the Government is undertaking resettlement, humanitarian assistance and regional development. Every state and region will provide help to show the meaning of Union and how it manifests national unity.
Afterwards, the Region Chief Minister and party drove a ceremonial stake into the ground where homes will be constructed.
The Thittonenargwa village tract is a resettling place where organised Mro ethnic villages of Khayuchaung, Myautkhaungtaung, Panchaung, Innchaung (low) villages and 86 homes from the village tract will be constructed. Each plot will measure 40×60 feet.
The Chief Minister and party then donated cash to the Sayadaw of Ywama monastery and the pastor from the Church of Jesus Christ in Kyeinchaung village.
