Parliamentarians are urging the government to conduct emergency repairs to a rapidly eroding riverbank that they say could threaten the Kyaukphyu-Yangon Highway.
A three-mile-long river bank between Zin Chaung and Kyauk Kalat villages is suffering from severe erosion, said Arakan State Hluttaw member U Phoe San.
“It is getting closer to the road and if the erosion continues it could damage the road,” he said. “If the banks aren’t repaired and maintained in time, the Kyaukphyu-Yangon highway road will deteriorate,” he said.
Arakan State Hluttaw member U Kyaw Lwin said lawmakers explained about the collapsing riverbank in the Hluttaw and called for it to be repaired but did not receive any response.
“The most important and dangerous thing is that seawater is invading the football ground near Zin Chaung village. I guess it will damage the houses of the village,” he said.
If repair work cannot start in time, the highway road will be damaged and cause problems for local businesses and people who need to travel to Yangon and other parts of Arakan State.
