Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing held a meeting with the Mandalay Region cabinet members and Region, District and Township level departmental personnel at the Tatmadaw guesthouse in PyinOoLwin Thursday morning and gave necessary instructions to shape Pyin Oo Lwin as a clean city and green city and as well as smart city based on Yadanabon Cyber City and Anisakhan Airport.

At the meeting, Union minister for Cooperatives and Rural Development U Hla Moe, Union minister for Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation U Khin Maung Yi and officials reported to the Senior General on modern agricultural techniques for growing coffee plants, allotment of land plots from the forest areas for cultivation of coffee plants, reopening of schools, preventive measures against COVID-19, and beautifying of Pyin Oo Lwin.

In his response to the reports, the Senior General said that efforts are being made to shape PyinOoLwin as a hill station in its original style. The international community shows interest in measures of the town. Taking such an advantage can bring benefits to the tourism sector. PyinOoLwin must be shaped as a clean city and green city as well as a beautiful city. It is necessary to ensure proper flow of water in the creek which flows from Kandawgyi and Kandawgale in PyinOoLwin and Gelaung Creek.

Keeping the city neat and tidy can attract local and foreign travellers, so it is necessary to systematically beautify the city. PyinOoLwin railway station and Gokteik viaduct are historical ones. Authorities need to consider the beautifying of PyinOoLwin, products, agriculture and livestock and tourism sectors.

PyinOoLwin must be shaped as an education city while the health standard must be promoted centring in PyinOoLwin. The Senior General stressed the need for officials to control the infection of COVID-19 with knowledge awareness and supervision under the restrictions of the pandemic.
