The elected Ethnic Affairs Representative for the Intha people has stated that she will make every possible effort, using all available capacity and resources, to address issues concerning Inle Lake.

“We will do our utmost to protect and preserve Inle Lake. At present, the lake is facing problems such as water depletion during certain periods, while in the rainy season there are issues with excessive water levels. We are determined to work as hard as we can to find ways to properly conserve and protect the lake,” said Daw Tin Tin Yi of the Intha National League for Democracy.

She added that efforts will also be made to preserve ethnic traditions, cultural heritage, and customs, ensuring they are not lost. At the same time, she aims to actively work toward the long-term sustainability of Inle Lake.

“At the moment, there are monasteries and homes that have been damaged by the earthquake. We are doing everything we can to assist them. Since these structures are built on stilts over water, there are some difficulties. We are trying our best to help monasteries and village homes using small private boats. However, we are facing challenges. Although we want to provide more assistance with machinery, fuel shortages have made it difficult to help as much as we would like. We will continue to do our very best. I would also like to sincerely thank all the residents of the Inle region who placed their trust in me and voted for me,” she said.

It is also reported that four committees of the Shan State Hluttaw have been formed and approved.

During the third day of the first regular session of the Third Shan State Hluttaw, held on March 30, the Speaker U Sai Lone Kyaw submitted the lists of members for the four committees, which were subsequently approved by the Hluttaw.
