Union Minister for Industry Dr Charlie Than visited No 2 Steel Mill (Pangpet) in Taunggyi, Shan State, yesterday morning.
During his visit, the Union minister inspected an iron smelting kiln, room heating boiler, water treatment workshop, oxygen workshop, power substation, iron ore processing workshop and coal storage. He also checked the status of railway construction for the storage of coal and the delivery of pig iron to the No 1 Steel Mill (Myingyan).
After that, the Union minister ordered to take full responsibility for the maintenance and installation of the equipment and to open the boiler handling and maintenance driving courses so that the boilers could be operated at full power.
The Union minister further urged the officials to study the operating conditions of each factory thoroughly to open secondary courses and to ensure that there is no remaining work to be done in the inspection and installation of equipment and to carry out inspections in accordance with the drawings.
The Union minister also stressed that the installation work should be carried out in accordance with the set standards and that the operation steps of each machine installed according to the mill branches should be known. The handling and maintenance manual of a machine installed in the mill should be translated from English to Myanmar so that all employees can quickly learn it.
He also explicitly ordered to take strict action to effectively use the funds obtained for the 2024-2025 financial year. After that, the Union Minister toured and inspected the mill employees’ housing and greeted the employees cordially. — MNA/KZL
