Laungshay rejected for inclusion on World Heritage List

Description: 

Nay Pyi Taw, 14 Nov — Deputy Minister for Culture U Than Swe on Friday rejected a request by U Hla Swe of Magway Region constituency-12 to the Amyotha Hluttaw on Friday to include Laungshay in Saw, a town in Magway Region, as an archaeological site on the World Heritage List and as a tourist destination. U Than Swe said that there is no plan to inscribe Laungshay on the World Heritage List as it takes nearly four years to collect data for an archaeological site to be submitted. The deputy minister added that one of eight proposed areas has so far been submitted to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization for inclusion on the list. Other questions asked at the Amyotha Hluttaw were concerned with road construction, agriculture, social welfare and resettlement, culture and power supply.
