The central pavilion to celebrate Thingyan Festival will rise between No (1) Basic Education High School and No ( Basic Education High School in Ayar Ward. Meanwhile, the departmental pavilions will take place between No (1) Basic Education High School and No (9) Basic Education High School.
A department insider shared details, "The departmental pavilion will be erected in front of No (1) Basic Education High School, extending to the location of a large jade sculpture. The area will be cordoned off, with vehicular access prohibited and roads closed to facilitate the Walking Thingyan Festival."
Strict security measures will envelop the festival, with road closures stretching from Andaw Shin Pagoda to the Myanmar Economic Bank near the Central Pavilion. Entry of cars and motorcycles will not be permitted.
Moreover, attendance at each departmental pavilion will be regulated, with reports suggesting coercive measures to encourage participation in the Thingyan Festival.
Notably, the 2022 Thingyan Festival saw an unfortunate nighttime bomb explosion at the central pavilion construction site, resulting in injuries.
Against the backdrop of heightened clashes between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the SAC across Kachin State, including areas near Myitkyina Town, preparations for this year's festival are underway amidst challenges.
