The section of a bridge near capital Naypyidaw along Yangon to Mandalay highway is damaged by rampaging flood waters from Swar Chaung dam on August 29, 2018. Swar Chaung dam’s spillway structure, which regulates the release of water from the levee, broke due to heavy seasonal rainfall in Bago region on August 29, inundating about 100 villages and blocking the country’s biggest highway, a government official said.
