Ayeyawady River Reaches Danger Level Near Pakokku, Residents Begin Evacuating

The Ayeyawady River near Pakokku reached the official danger level of 2,150 centimetres this afternoon, prompting residents living in low-lying areas along the riverbank to begin evacuating.

As the river continued to rise, floodwaters entered homes in low-lying wards, with evacuations getting under way from Monday morning.

A resident of Ward No. 1 said around 30 households in the low-lying section had registered for evacuation.

“About 30 households in the low-lying part of Ward No. 1 have registered to move. At the moment, they are arranging food and accommodation, while the relevant authorities are monitoring the situation with various response teams,” the resident said.

Local sources said the river could rise to more than two feet above the danger level, with water levels expected to continue increasing for another three days. The number of people seeking shelter from the floods is also expected to grow.

During severe flooding in July 2024, the Ayeyawady River near Pakokku rose about 4.5 feet above the danger level, forcing many local residents to evacuate.

Nine Arrested After Yangon Jewellery Shop Owner Kidnapped and Rescued Within Hours

A jewellery shop owner who was kidnapped in downtown Yangon on 6 August was rescued alive the following morning after security forces arrested nine suspects allegedly involved in the abduction and ransom plot, according to an official statement.

The victim, U Aung Myint, also known as Supramani, owner of the Diamond Shine jewellery shop on Shwebontha Street in Pabedan Township, was abducted at around 5:30 pm on 6 August while returning home from his shop.

According to the statement, the kidnappers later contacted his family using his mobile phone at around 8 pm, demanding a ransom of K450 million and 60 ticals of gold in exchange for his safe release. They also warned the family not to inform the security authorities, threatening to kill the victim if the incident was reported.

Following the report, security forces launched an investigation and arrested two suspects, identified as Mu Du Gar (alias Win Ko Aung) and Gin Do (alias Lin Lin), near Set San Hotel in Tamway Township at about 4:30 am on 7 August.

Around 30 minutes later, two more suspects, Myo Min Oo (alias Myo Gyi) and Aung Thu (alias Aung Thu Oo), were arrested near Kyauk Taing bus stop in Thaketa Township. Officers seized a knife, a bayonet and a pair of handcuffs during the operation.

A subsequent search of the surrounding area led to the discovery and rescue of U Aung Myint, who was found alive inside an abandoned house nearby.

Security forces later arrested another suspect, Maung Nge, in Dawbon Township. Based on information obtained during questioning, three additional suspects—Kyaw Thu Ya, Aung Htet Moe and Kyaw Thet—were detained at their respective homes.

The taxi allegedly used in the kidnapping was also located, and its driver, Kyaw Ko Ko Lwin, was arrested at a residence in Dawbon Township.

Authorities said all nine suspects will face legal action under the relevant laws. The statement added that the swift arrests were made possible through the efforts of security personnel and information provided by members of the public, while reaffirming continued operations to maintain public security, uphold the rule of law and combat crime.

Over K23.3 Billion Donated for Flood Relief and Recovery in Ayeyawady’s Laymyethna Township

Myanmar’s President U Min Aung Hlaing attended a donation ceremony in Pathein on 8 August, where more than K23.324 billion was pledged by the military, regional governments, organizations and private donors to support relief and reconstruction efforts in flood-hit Laymyethna Township, Ayeyawady Region.

Speaking at the ceremony, the President said severe rainfall on 30 July caused a breach along the Ngawun River embankment, flooding five wards and 138 villages in Laymyethna Township. More than 9,000 households, comprising over 39,000 people, were affected, and 17 relief camps were opened.

He said authorities, local residents and volunteers have been working since 31 July to reinforce the damaged embankment using sandbags, geobags, bamboo barriers and heavy machinery. Additional measures, including sinking three sand-filled vessels to reduce the water flow and installing about 890 feet of 12-metre steel sheet piles, are also being implemented to strengthen the flood defences.

The President said the government is continuing emergency relief operations while preparing for long-term rehabilitation and reconstruction. He also expressed appreciation to donors and organisations for supporting both immediate assistance and recovery efforts.

During the ceremony, the President received donations on behalf of the relief programme and presented certificates of appreciation to contributors. Senior military officials and Union ministers later accepted additional donations, bringing the total contributions to more than K23.324 billion.

Mandalay–Mogok road flooded near Tanga Village, blocking heavy trucks

Floodwater has increasingly covered the 25/26-mile section of the Mandalay–Mogok road near Tanga Village, making the road impassable for motor vehicles, including heavy cargo trucks, according to reports.

The road has been inundated by about three feet of water since August 7 as water levels at the Sedawgyi Reservoir rose significantly, prompting controlled water releases. Local social rescue organizations reported that by this morning, the water had risen further, preventing not only passenger vehicles but also heavy trucks from passing through.

The Myanmar Social Rescue Organization’s Madaya office, Madaya Township Fire Services Department, relevant organizations and partner social rescue groups are jointly carrying out assistance and rescue operations in response to the flooding along the Mandalay–Mogok road.

The full reservoir level of Sedawgyi Reservoir is 419.5 feet, while the water level measured on the morning of August 7 stood at 417.8 feet. Five sluice gates were reportedly opened by two feet each, while two other gates were opened by one foot each for controlled water release.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said on August 8 that it considers the appointment of a new Special Envoy of the ASEAN Chair and the continuation of the envoy’s role may no longer be necessary, as a government that emerged from a multiparty democratic election held in accordance with the people’s wishes is now assuming responsibility for governing the country.

Some Villages Inundated Due to Flooding of Tangar Main Creek in Madaya Township

On the morning of August 8 at around 6:30 AM, the Tangar main creek in Madaya Township, Mandalay Region, overflowed due to heavy flooding, causing water to flow into several surrounding villages.

The floodwaters from the Tangar main creek inundated Tangar Taung Village, Ye Chaung Bo Village, Bagan Su Village, Rakhine Su Village, and Ah Nya Kaing Village within Madaya Township.

To ensure the safety of residents in the affected villages, full-time and auxiliary members of the Madaya Township Fire Station, alongside members of the Madaya Rescue Team, the Red Cross, and local philanthropic organizations, collaborated to assist the flood-affected households. They systematically evacuated the victims to safe emergency shelters located at the school and station hospital in Umin Village, as well as the monastery in Yon Pin Village within Upper Taung Kaing Village Tract.
