Mandalay tent dwellers hope to get public housing
Tent-dwellers on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River in Mandalay may soon be exchanging their canvas walls for bricks and mortar, as the regional government seeks tenants for newly completed low-cost housing.
The Mandalay Region government has decided not to charge would-be tenants a deposit amounting to three months’ rent as was originally planned, Mandalay City Development Committee announced on 11 January.
