According to the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief, and Resettlement, a budget of K945.58 million will be allocated to repair 19,540 houses across nine regions and states before the onset of the rainy season.
Due to the prevalence of strong winds during the pre-monsoon months of March, April, and May, resulting in roof damages and collapses, the government aims to undertake repairs, as stated by Union Minister for Social Welfare, Relief, and Resettlement Dr Soe Win during the project launch ceremony on 5 January.
From the 2016-2017 financial year to the 2022-2023 financial year, the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief, and Resettlement has already spent over K1.7 billion to repair more than 55,000 houses in 12 regions and states. — TWA/TKO
