Power supply resumes in townships in Pakokku district after repair of power line tower destroyed by bombing

It has been learned that power supply has resumed in townships within Pakokku district since around 3 PM on July 23, following the repair of a power line tower that was bombed and destroyed between Pakokku and Nyaungpin Gyi. It has been learned that the Ministry of Electricity, power line staff, and regional security forces cooperated in the work to quickly repair the bombed and destroyed power line tower. "The power went out on the 19th. The power is back this evening. As far as I know, the foundation of the power tower was hit by a mine. It was like starting over from scratch. Because it was close to the town and the relevant authorities worked hard, the power is back around this time. When there is a power outage, the general public is the first to be affected. Electricity is connected to health, economy, and society," said a resident of Pakokku. It has been learned that on July 19, around 7:30 PM, PDF members planted mines and bombed and destroyed power line tower number (338) of the 132 kV high-voltage power line near Paung Laung Kan village in Pakokku Township, Magway Region, causing power lines supplying Pakokku, Ye Chaung, Myaing, and Kanma townships to be cut off.
