Government workers received brand new household items after their apartments got smashed during the recent earthquake. Officials handed out refrigerators, televisions, cooking pots, kettles, irons, and stoves to people whose homes were destroyed. The ceremony took place yesterday and helped families from 25 different government departments. Lt-Gen Tun Tun Naung explained how rescue teams worked hard to save people after the ground started shaking. He told everyone that the country's leader made sure displaced workers got help right away.
The disaster fund paid for everything because officials wanted to replace what people lost. Union Minister Dr Soe Win talked about how his committee organized the whole operation. Workers from 124 damaged buildings received the kitchen gear and appliances. The government spent more than K1,078 million to buy all the replacement items. Officials counted exactly what each family needed before ordering the supplies.
Emergency teams had moved quickly after the earthquake hit government housing areas. Many ground floor apartments collapsed and left hundreds of families without basic cooking equipment. The disaster management committee decided to give each affected household six essential items. Officials made sure every family got the same types of appliances to restart their daily routines. The handover ceremony marked the end of the emergency replacement program for earthquake victims.
