A train loaded with construction materials reached Mandalay on Wednesday morning to support earthquake relief efforts across central Myanmar. The shipment carried 553 tons of high-strength steel bars and 14,000 metal roofing panels weighing 65 tons from Yangon under orders from the National Natural Disaster Management Committee. Officials inspected the cargo at Shwekyetyet station before dividing supplies between the Sagaing and Mandalay regions.
Authorities will distribute the materials to communities rebuilding homes and structures damaged by seismic activity. The freight delivery represents part of a broader government program to transport construction resources by rail to disaster zones. Workers will use the steel reinforcement and corrugated zinc sheets in recovery projects across both administrative areas.
