Authorities need to consider the beautifying of PyinOoLwin, products, agriculture and livestock and tourism sectors, Senior General stresses

PyinOoLwin must be shaped as a clean city and green city and as well as smart city based on Yadanabon Cyber City and Anisakhan Airport, said Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing in meeting with the Mandalay Region cabinet members and departmental personnel in PyinOoLwin District and Township at the Tatmadaw guesthouse in PyinOoLwin yesterday morning.
Union minister for Cooperatives and Rural Development U Hla Moe, Union minister for Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation U Khin Maung Yi and officials reported to the Senior General on modern agricultural techniques for growing coffee plants, allotment of land plots from the forest areas for cultivation of coffee plants, reopening of schools, preventive measures against COVID-19, and beautifying of PyinOoLwin.
In his response to the reports, the Senior General said that efforts are being made to shape PyinOoLwin as a hill station in its original style. The international community shows interest in measures of the town. Taking such an advantage can bring benefits to the tourism sector.
PyinOoLwin must be shaped as a clean city and green city as well as a beautiful city. It is necessary to ensure proper flow of water in the creek which flows from Kandawgyi and Kandawgale in PyinOoLwin and Gelaung Creek. Keeping the city neat and tidy can attract local and foreign travellers, so it is necessary to systematically beautify the city. Relevant administrative bodies need to supervise the construction of the houses and buildings under the rules and regulations.
The government has set the coffee zone in the PyinOoLwin area. Flowery plants were grown in the past but cultivable lands are used in other measures, leaving the lesser sown acreage of agricultural tasks. Relevant departments need to conduct research on agricultural tasks and create a market for agricultural products.
The Senior General urged local people to strive not only for the domestic market but for the export of cream from PyinOoLwin to the international market. Local authorities were urged to boom the region-wise economy for generating jobs for the people.
Efforts must be expedited for boosting the per-acre yield of the crops grown in the cultivable lands to be able to minimize deforestation. Prevention of deforestation is a must for PyinOoLwin and its environs. Consequently, the area will have favourable weather.
The Senior General stressed that it is necessary to clean the branches of trees covering the motor roads as erosion of rainwater may cause damage to the roads. Officials need to overview all sectors because beautifying the city is related to other functions.
The Senior General gave advice based on his experiences for the expansion of the urban area in PyinOoLwin. It is necessary to consider pavement systems, windbreaks, road construction and expansion of the urban areas in future projects. PyinOoLwin railway station and Gokteik viaduct are historical ones. Authorities need to consider the beautifying of PyinOoLwin, products, agriculture and livestock and tourism sectors.
PyinOoLwin must be shaped as an education city while the health standard must be promoted centring in PyinOoLwin. PyinOoLwin must be shaped as a clean city and green city and as well as a smart city based on Yadanabon Cyber City and Anisakhan Airport. Manufacturing tasks must be done through the collaborative efforts of the people.
The Senior General stressed the need for officials to control the infection of COVID-19 with knowledge awareness and supervision under the restrictions of the pandemic. — MNA
