Irrigation Facility: Progress of Samone Dam repair works

Implementations for durability of Samone Dam has been carried out after the facility was damaged by the flash floods, caused by consecutive heavy rainfall, and impacted by the Typhoon Yagi.

On December 18th, Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation U Bo Bo Kyaw inspected the progress of repair works, along with the durability of spillway and Sand Flushing Sluice.
