THE opening ceremony of the Maha Makhuhtaranthi Pagoda’s Buddha Pujaniya ceremony in Zeechai Village, Hainggyikyun Township, saw State Administration Council (SAC) Member Mahn Nyein Maung. The event took place yesterday morning at the Pagoda’s southern courtyard.
After cutting the ceremonial ribbon, the SAC member officially opened the event. He then pressed the button at the Pagoda’s southern entrance to launch the ceremony, where incense offerings were made, and various organizations were honoured with cash donations. The attendees also performed acts of worship, presenting offerings such as fruits, flowers, and water.
The SAC member and officials also visited a basic education high school in Haigyikyun Township. He observed and supported the ongoing educational activities at the school, where indigenous rural people are being taught literacy. He engaged in discussions with the students about their learning experiences, offering encouragement and sharing insights. He presented food to the students and staff in recognition of their efforts.
The SAC member then inspected the improvement work on the waterway entering Haigyikyun. An official provided information that the regional government had allocated funds for the construction of a breakwater along Hainggyi Creek to prevent erosion for the 2024-2025 financial year. The construction of the 550-foot-long breakwater is progressing as planned. The official clarified that the work is being carried out according to the established standards and must be completed on time.
The completion of the breakwater will prevent erosion along Hainggyi Creek, improving the water flow within the creek and ensuring that vessels can enter and exit safely without any risk. — MNA/ KZL
