RANGOON — Rangoon’s municipal body is planning to build a number of sewage treatment plants throughout the city with the assistance of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), state-run media reported on Tuesday.

The new plants are expected to cater for almost 50 percent of the commercial capital’s population, according to an official from the Yangon City Development Committee, quoted by the Global New Light of Myanmar.

No commencement date or deadlines were specified.
