📋 Tender Overview
No 902-down train that departed from Kyaukdaga Township yesterday morning retreated from milepost 107/4-5 between Kyaukdaga and Thahtaygon railway stations on the Yangon-Mandalay section in Bago Region as the railway track was destroyed due to the mine blast planted by insurgents. The railway section was also temporarily suspended.
Regional officials and security forces members proceeded to the site promptly for inspection, and they also found an unexploded homemade mine near the incident location.
The MR staff repaired the damage to reopen the railway section as quickly as possible, and the railway section was reopened on the same afternoon.
Since February 2021, terrorist groups have been perpetrating 81 mining attacks and explosions within railway areas and stations, 81 blasts on railway bridges, and 16 instances of blazing stations and employee housing. Their terrorist acts are aimed at destabilizing the rule of law and endangering the safety of travellers, drawing widespread condemnation from the public.
