20,000 acres of land in Thaton Township from wetlands
to valuable farmlands

 Local people, social organizations and authorities
and departmental personnel urged to harmoniously take
part in five rural development tasks

Strengthened spirit of self-reliance leads to
weakening tendency to depend on others and engage in
illegal business and vitalizing spirit to defend
nation

Yangon, 25 June - Secretary-1 of the State Peace and
Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt and party left
here by Tatmadaw aircraft this morning and arrived at
Zaikkaye Sluice Gate in Thaton Township, Mon State, at
8.20 am.

The Secretary-1 and party were welcomed there by
member of the State Peace and Development Council
Maj-Gen Maung Bo of the Ministry of Defence, Chairman
of Mon State Peace and Development Council Commander
of South-East Command Brig-Gen Thura Myint Aung and
officials.

Then, the opening ceremony of the Zaikkaye Sluice Gate
built by the Construction Group-6 of Irrigation
Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Irrigation was held at the Mingala Pandal near the
sluice gate, with an address by the Secretary-1.

First, the Secretary-1 delivered an opening address.

The Secretary-1 said emergence of the sluice gate will
help transform the areas on both sides of Zaikkaye and
Thaminyoe canals in Thaton Township from wetlands to
valuable farmlands. Thus, the sluice gate will benefit
the local farmers much.

Bringing good results to local farmers in the township
amounts to realizing to an extent the State's goodwill
ensuring a peaceful life and good economic and social
foundations for the people. The government is going to
extend its regional development programmes.

The State has the conviction that there will an
equitable social and economic progress among the
national races only if there is a proportionate
development in all the regions of the nation.

In accord with the conviction, it is building a
network of bridges and roads to link all the regions
and implementing the 24-development-zone project for
harmonious social and economic progress.

Especially, it is building dams, sluice gates and
river water pumping stations in many regions in accord
with the requirements for the benefit of the majority
who are relying on agriculture as the main business.

Development of roads in the whole nation and the
economy including the agriculture business will lead
to all-round progress of all the regions of the Union.


The progress in trade and economic foundations will
help further develop the social and economic sectors.


Health, education and human resources development
programmes being implemented region-wise will also
help further develop the social and economic sectors.

At present all the regions of the Union and the social
sector of the people are gaining significant progress.


The economic foundations of the transport, farming and
fisheries sectors in Mon State are developing at
present.

Mon State is serving as the transport hub of Kayin
State, Taninthayi Division and Yangon Division linking
them through Thanlwin (Hpa-an) Bridge, Gyaing
(Zathabyin) Bridge and Gyaing (Kawkareik) Bridge.

Completion of the Donthami road-cum-railway bridge in
Thaton Township smoothens transport on Thaton-Hpa-an
road.

Emergence of Mawlamyine-Myeik-Taninthayi road ensures
direct link between Mon State and Taninthayi Division.
Transport on the road will become smooth at the
completion of the three bridges under construction.

Thanlwin Bridge (Mawlamyine) which will become the
longest bridge in the nation is under construction at
present. The bridge linking Mottama and Mawlamyine
will ensure easy links among Yangon Division, Bago
Division, Kayin State, Mon State and Taninthayi
Division.

As Mon State is located in the centre of the these
states and divisions, it is sure that the state will
achieve rapid progress.

Crops such as paddy, beans and pulses, edible oil
crops and perennial crops including rubber and oil
palm grow well in Mon State. Plans are under way to
cultivate pepper in the entire nation.

In addition to progress of the other economic sectors,
the State is building dams and sluice gates at
necessary places for development of the agriculture
sector of Mon State.

Over 20,000 acres of brackish land on both sides of
Zaikkaye and Thaminyoe canals in Thaton Township were
inundated during the rainy season. The Zaikkaye Sluice
Gate was built to prevent them from floods during the
rainy season and the inflow of sea water.

Six dams and sluice gates including the Zaikkaye
Sluice Gate have been built in Mon State at a cost of
K 1,533.84 million to irrigate 41,800 acres of crops.


Kadaik Dam which will irrigate 10,000 acres has been
built in Paung Township, Mon State, and Kyonhtaw
Sluice Gate which will irrigate 25,000 acres in Thaton
Township. Plans are under way to build 20 more dams
and sluice gates in the state. The facilities include
Kyauksarit Dam, which will irrigate 40,000 acres,
Zayitchaung Dam, which will irrigate 300 acres, and
Kyaikkaw (Winpa) Dam, which will irrigate 1,300 acres,
in Thaton Township.

The State has built 135 irrigation facilities
including the Zaikkaye Sluice Gate spending K
57,217.45 million. They are irrigating 1,987,619 acres
of crops.

Mon State including Thaton Township possesses good
soil and water conditions. Agriculture, livestock
breeding, fisheries and other businesses are thriving
in the state.

As the government has built transport and irrigation
facilities in Mon State, it is sure that the state
will gain rapid progress if the local people try their
utmost with zeal and perseverance.

The local people are urged to equip themselves with
patriotism and to make energetic efforts for progress
of agriculture on which the nation is relying.

It is required for local people, social organizations
and authorities and departmental personnel to
harmoniously take part in the five rural development
tasks being implemented in accord with the guidance of
Head of State Senior General Than Shwe.

Mon State will gain rapid development if the State
renders assistance, the people make efforts and get
rid of the tendency to rely on foreign countries. They
should effectively use the emerging favorable
conditions for development of the region. Rise in the
self-reliant spirit among the people will lead to
lessening the will to depend on others, to engage in
illegal business and vitalizing the spirit to defend
the nation.

In conclusion, the Secretary-1 urged the local people
to effectively use the land irrigated by the sluice
gate for development of the agriculture sector, the
region and the social sector of the people; urged the
local authorities, departmental personnel and local
people to possess Union Spirit and to harmoniously
strive for rapid progress of the rural people and
improvement of the living standard of the rural people
in accord with the goodwill of the Head of State; and
urged them to harmonious strive for regional and
national development.

Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation Maj-Gen Nyunt
Tin delivered a speech.

He said the agricultural sector fulfils 34 per cent of
national economy. With the development of the
agricultural sector national economic development will
become high.

The population of the country is over 51 million. The
Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation has been
building agricultural structure for development in the
length and breath of the nation after laying down
long-term projects to fulfill local consumption, to
boost agricultural produce and to earn foreign
exchange through export, he said.

He said irrigation projects are being undertaken in
central Myanmar in order to gain local sufficiency of
rice and to export surplus of quality rice. This year,
altogether 16.4 million acres of paddy 13.36 million
acres of monsoon paddy and 3,04 million acres of
summer paddy were grown in lower Myanmar including Mon
State to boost rice production, he added. Special
zones are being established with the formation of
monsoon paddy model townships for production of 1,139
million basket of paddy, he said.

He said arrangements are being made for cultivation of
seven million acres of oil crops such as groundnut,
sesame, sunflower, niger and mustard. Edible oil
project is under way through irrigated sesame special
zone and oil palm and Thitseint cultivation that
contributes toward local oil sufficiency is also being
undertaken.

Altogether 7.8 million acres of beans and pulses that
are at the top in the export items were grown this
year. Plans are under way for cultivation of 890,000
acres of cotton, 500,000 acres of sugar, 125,000 acres
of jute and 480,000 acres of rubber for supply of raw
materials to the factories. Extended cultivation of
pepper which has much demand in foreign market is
being undertaken.

The minister spoke at length on investment in
agriculture, technology, irrigation, quality strains,
and other requirements, boosting production of rice
and crops in Mon State and implementation of major,
medium and small scale irrigation projects in upper
and central Myanmar and arid zone and highland
cultivation in hilly regions.

He said Zaikkaye sluice gate is the 135th irrigation
project under the present government.

Chairman of Mon State Peace and Development Council
Commander of South East Command Brig-Gen Thura Myint
Aung said the State Peace and Development Council is
making efforts for emergence of a peaceful, modern
developed nation and for raising of quality of life of
the people.

He expressed his pleasure for construction of Zaikkaye
sluice gate in Thaton Township in Mon State that
contributes towards agriculture and greening in the
region.

In accord with the guidance of the Head of State,
paddy cultivated acreage has been extended. In the
previous 2001-2002 fiscal year, monsoon paddy was
cultivated in 669,576 acres and summer paddy in
112,513 acres. In this 2002-2003 fiscal year,
arrangements have been made to put 672,264 acres under
monsoon paddy and 137,650 acres under summer paddy.

Thaton Township of Mon State where Zaikkaye sluice
gate is located, has 180 to 200 inches of rainfall
annually. The township gets 95 per cent of the annual
rainfall from May to September. It hardly gets
rainfall in the late rainy season and hence, there was
a difficulty in obtaining sufficient water for crops
in reaching the maturing stage. The opening of
Zaikkaye sluice gate will not only protect over 20,000
acres on either side of Kyauklongyi Creek and
Thaminyoe canal from deluge in rainy season but also
ensure the availability of water for crops in reaching
maturing stage in late rainy season. In summer, the
sluice gate will also protect the cultivated lands
from inundation caused by entering of sea water. In
this way, crops cultivation can be made in time and
double and mixed crop pings can also be carried out.
Thus, the sluice gate built at a cost of over 305
million kyats is very beneficial to the farmers. It is
needed for all to collectively maintain the sluice
gate for posterity as well as to abide by the
prescribed rules and regulations of the Irrigation
department. Head of State Senior General Than Shwe has
guided that land and water resources are really
important in modernizing and developing the country
and earnest efforts must be made for land and water to
become value added one. In line with this guidance,
residential farmers are to collectively and
conscientiously maintain the new sluice gate for long
term use.

Afterwards, Peasant U Naing Tun of Htainbin Village,
on behalf of local residents and peasants, spoke words
of thanks to the State Peace and Development Council
for constructing the Zaikkaye sluice gate. Secretary-1
Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt presented gifts to the staff of the
Irrigation Department through Director
(Construction-6) U Khin Maung Myint and Director
(Mechanical, Division-1) U Baw Htin.

The ceremony to open the sluice gate was held at the
archway of the sluice gate. Secretary-1 Lt-Gen Khin
Nyunt formally pressed the button to unveil the stone
inscriptions of the sluice gate.

Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation Maj-Gen Nyunt
Tin and Chairman of Mon State Peace and Development
Council Commander Brig-Gen Thura Myint Aung formally
opened the sluice gate.

After that, the Secretary-1 and party, together with
departmental staff, students and local people, posed
for documentary photos.

Then, the Secretary-1 cordially greeted those present
and the ceremony came to a close.

After the opening ceremony, the Secretary-1 and party
arrived at the briefing hall of the sluice gate where
Minister Maj-Gen Nyunt Tin reported him on land
reclamation in Thaton District, the benefited area of
the sluice gate, progress in construction of Kyonhtaw

the sluice gate.

---------

The Secretary-1 then presented medicine for Htainbin
Village rural health branch in Thaton Township.

The Zaikkaye sluice gate lies beside the Zaikkaye
canal near Aungkantha Village in Thaton township. It
is of reinforced type and has 21 gates each of which
is six feet by 12 feet wide. The benefited area of the
sluice gate is 20,000 acres and it can prevent the wet
land near Thaminyoe canal from flooding. It can store
fresh water in late rainy season and prevent inflow of
sea water in summer. It is built with the aim of
