Over 10,000 acres of monsoon paddy have been submerged in Kyonpyaw township of Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady region in recent days, the state-run daily Myanma Alin reported on Tuesday.
The report said that the rise of the creek in the township and torrential rains had caused the paddy fields to be submerged.
As of July 28, in Kyonpyaw Township, 10,307 acres of monsoon paddy, 15 acres of tapioca fields and two acres of banana fields were flooded. The report said the area has over 60 houses from three villages submerged.
It added that local authorities and rescue organisations have provided the affected residents with food and drinking water.
Ayeyarwady’s Kangyidaunt Township also reported over 3,800 acres of submerged monsoon paddy.
