Subject: Petition for assistance
Field No. (425) and Registered No. (N4) with 130 acres of paddy fields belong to 29 people, including
U Maung Nu Khin in Naywartaung, Village Tract of Kyaukphru Township.
There are 1,300 wingspans of embankments in the fields. 500 out of 1,300 wingspans and all the paddy
farms with the salt water inside the embankments were destroyed due to the Cyclone Giri on October
22.
The farmers are now suffering the lack of food and have found it difficult to be able to repair the
embankments and rebuild their livelihoods.
Thus, we are sending our petition for assistance to give necessary help to the farmers.
