Cleaning artesian well: MCRD UM inspected cleaning of artesian well

Deputy Minister for Cooperatives and Rural Development U Myint Soe along with responsible officials, visited Kyun-U Smart Village in Pyinmana Township, Naypyidaw Council area on Monday to assess the situation following the flooding. They focused on improving the distribution of clean drinking water that was affected by the floods.

The Rural Development Department is conducting an operation with a large compressor mounted on crane truck  to clear and pump 400 feet artesian well, as well as removing sediment from the village roads and multi-purpose halls. They are also working to reopen the local primary school as quickly as possible and coordinating efforts to dispose of the remaining floodwaters in the village.

The Rural Development Department is actively working on the cleaning and rehabilitation of water supply systems in 22 flood-affected villages in Pyinmana Township and it’s expected to complete the artesian well cleaning and pumping work in Kyun-U Village in the evening and Deputy Minister coordinated with relevant ministry to ensure electricity is available for water distribution.

Kyun-U Village relies primarily on the production of fried and roasted beans, employing around 400 workers. To restart the industries in the small and large 16 bean roasters, they need to rebuild the bean roaster and secure raw materials.

To address these needs, the Deputy Minister met with business owners to discuss support and stated that they would coordinate with the relevant departments to assist in the efforts.
