The opening ceremony of the

held yesterday at a pandal in Angumaw, Maungtaw Township, Rakhine State.
During the ceremony, Amyotha Hluttaw
Deputy Speaker U Aye Tha Aung said the Buthidaung-Maungtaw road was better now,
and with the current road playing a strategically important role (the two
roads), it would give people in Rakhine State easy access to the Maungtaw area.
With the improvement of basic infrastructure such as roads, bridges and
electricity, as required by the people, there is now more potential for the
development of the region.
Dr Win Myat Aye, Union Minister for
Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, as well as deputy chairman of Union
Enterprise for Humanitarian Assistance, Resettlement and Development in Rakhine
State (UEHRD), and U Han Zaw, Union Minister for Construction, delivered
speeches.

the road upgradation work, after which he accepted a certificate of honour
presented by Union Minister Dr. Win Myat Aye.

Amyotha Hluttaw Deputy Speaker U Aye Tha
Aung, Union Ministers Dr. Win Myat Aye and U Han Zaw, Rakhine State Hluttaw
Speaker U San Kyaw Hla, and Rakhine State Minister for Security and Border
Affairs Col Phone Tint then opened the Angumaw-Kotankauk road section by
