Lancang-Mekong Corporation-funded project to provide clean water to villages in eastern Myanmar

YANGON, May 20 (Xinhua): Local people in three villages of eastern Myanmar's Shan State will have access to clean and sufficient water once a Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC)-funded water access project is completed in the area, an official from the Ministry of Cooperatives and Rural Development said on Monday.

The project will not only benefit the targeted villages but also has the potential to be expanded to other areas, Soe Than, a deputy director general of the department told Xinhua.
