Pakkoku, 24 September

The Pakkoku-Kanma-Mindat Road closed temporarily this morning to traffic following inundation triggered by torrential rains.

The severe rains have led to the temporary closure of traffic traversing the road. Amyotha Hluttaw Representative U Mya Min Swe, Township Administrator U Myint Hsaung together with officials from the Department of Road and fighters from the township fire brigade rushed to the scene to assess the situation.

The debris were cleared off with the use of heavy machinery and the road reopened to traffic at about 10 a.m.
