The Union Enterprise for Humanitarian Assistance,
Resettlement and Development in
Rakhine (UEHRD) will build 500 houses for Muslim villagers in Maungdaw township on the western Myanmar
border areas.
Destroyed by the fire during the 2017 unrests,
these houses will be erected
at Myoma east ward, Myo Oo ward Nga Khura, Kyauk Laygar, Thiho Kyun village, Padin, Alay Than Kyaw and Kyar
Khaung Taung, informed the
district administrator U Soe Aung.
"These houses are meant for those families
who did not flee to Bangladesh
after the 2017 conflicts. Many houses were gutted during the year. We are rebuilding those to hand over the
villagers,” said the administrator
while talking to Narinjara News.
Rakhine State government has already published
tender notices for those houses.
The iron roof, bamboo wall and wooden floor will be used in those houses which would be constructed with local
designs, he added.
Maungdaw township administrator Aung Ye revealed
that preliminary works like land
cleanings are under progress.
Mentionable is that hundreds of thousands of
Muslim families left Rakhine State
after a military crackdown tempted by an attack on 30 Myanmar-Bangladesh border posts by ARSA. Many houses in
northern Rakhine were destroyed by the
fire during a military offensive.
