Sagaing Immigration Office repaired following bombing

REPAIR work is under­way at the Sagaing Town­ship Immigration Office following damage caused by a timed explosive de­vice, while public services continue through tempo­rary arrangements.

During a visit to Sagaing on Wednesday, of­ficials inspected the town­ship office, where staff are currently providing ser­vices from a temporary facility set up in the public waiting area. Discussions were also held on opera­tional requirements and measures to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of public services.

Officials reviewed on­going renovation work at the office building, which sustained damage from an explosion caused by a timed improvised ex­plosive device. Financial assistance and food sup­plies were also provided to township office staff.

At the Sagaing Dis­trict Immigration Office, food items were distrib­uted to staff from both district and township offices. Financial as­sistance donated by a local benefactor for the Sagaing Township Office was handed over through district authorities, while additional support funds and food supplies were provided to employees who were injured by bomb fragments.

Authorities said ef­forts are continuing to restore the damaged of­fice and support affected staff, while maintaining immigration services for the public. — MNA/KZL
