Compensation for Yangon-Dala bridge to be paid this month
In an apparent effort to ensure good relations with local residents and avoid the problems that have dogged other development projects, local authorities have agreed to pay compensation in advance to people forced to move to make way for the Yangon-Dala Bridge.
The committee set up for the purpose has announced that compensation will be paid this month, following a two-week verification process, U Tin Hlaing, chair of the Dala township support committee, has told The Myanmar Times.
Export-Import Bank of Korea, working under the Ministry of Construction, is scheduled to start work on the bridge this year and complete it by 2020.
