via Burma News International, 08 April 2023: A local heritage group is working to dredge the ancient canals of Mrauk U.
The Mrauk-U Cultural Heritage Conservation Association is excavating the original drainage channels at the Nandawyargon (palace mound) in Mrauk-U, the last royal capital of Arakanese kings.
The drainage channels at the base of the Nandawyargon are blocked, and the foundation is being eroded by rainwater that does not flow away due to blocked drainage channels, according to the chairwoman of the Mrauk-U Cultural Heritage Conservation Association, Daw Khin Than.
