During the SAC Chairman Prime Minister’s Magway region Trip, the prime minister gave instructions to unearth the artifacts and carry out the maintenance processes. As implementing of the instructions, we have excavated land plot no-42 at the westernmost city entrance of the southern city wall in the 2022-23 Fiscal Year."
