Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation Dr Tun Win responded to a call for construction of a bridge in Gwa Township of Rakhine State, saying that there were no plans to build a 1,200-foot reinforced concrete bridge over a creek between Gwa and Magyi Ngu village at the moment because time is required to test the soil and develop a structural design in cooperation with the Ministry of Construction.
On behalf of the Rakhine State government, the deputy minister replied to a call for construction of a retaining wall in Taungup Township, saying that it will be built in accordance with the regional government’s priority list in a supplementary budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal years.
