Inlay PhaungdawU Pagoda is undergoing reinforcement work to address damage caused by the recent Mandalay earthquake. Currently, sheet pile reinforcement is being carried out on the pagoda platform, and concrete reinforcement is on the monastery’s main pillars.
Large motorboats transport steel sheets from the hotel zone jetty to the pagoda compound, where installation work has begun from the northern side of the pagoda. Heavy machinery is used daily for this operation. Similarly, concrete is poured to reinforce the columns of the main monastery structure.
Engineers, Tatmadaw members, police and fire brigade members, volunteers and donors are accelerating the renovation of the pagoda platform and main monastery. The aim is to complete the project before the Thadingyut Buddha Pujaniya Festival.
Donations from all over the country are coming to support these restoration works. As of today, 170.7 million Kyats have been donated. To contribute to this merit-making effort, don’t hesitate to contact PhaungdawU Pagoda Board of Trustee Chairman U Win Myint at 09 771497838.
