THE Yangon Region govern­ment will give the green light to operate Thingyan pavilions under rules and regulations.

 

The regional government formed committees to celebrate Myanmar’s traditional Maha Thingyan Festival for the year 1386 ME.

 

The regional government will nod the applicants who want to operate the Thingyan pavil­ions depending on water availa­bility, traffic congestion and size of the pavilions, following the set rules.

 

Those interested must seek permission through the Engi­neering Department (Road and Bridge) of the Yangon City De­velopment Committee, along with the recommendation of the respective General Administra­tion Department. Only after the Yangon Region government will check the location and strength analysis to grant a permit, the construction can be undertaken.

 

The application to con­struct and host the Thingyan pavilions needs to be submitted between 25 March and 7 April. The form and rules and regu­lations documents are availa­ble at the YCDC’s Engineering Department. Those who submit them after the deadline will not be considered anyhow. Individ­uals can enquire about details through the contact number of the Yangon Region Government via 01 8371128. — NN/KK
