via Narinjara News, 08 February 2023: Local residents protest against the construction, which was presumably done to bolster its world heritage bid.
Construction of a concrete pavement inside an ancient Rakhine palace of Mrauk U township in Arakan State was stopped after the local residents raised strong objections.
A resident, while talking to Narinjara News, stated that the locals were not happy with the construction in the archeology site of the ancient city.
“It is assumed as a disturbing act to construct a stone-paved road in the ancient palace, when the Mrauk U cultural area has been lobbied for the recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site,” he added.
