Upon arrival at the entrance to Budalin recently,
the news crew of Myanma Alin Daily saw the
equestrian statue of Maha Bandoola that brings honour

Located on the east bank of Chindwin River,
Budalin is sharing border with Dabayin Township in
the north, Ayadaw Township in the east, Monywa
Township in the south and Yinmabin and Kani
townships in the west.
Budalin of Sagaing Division is situated at an

feet at the lowest area. The township has an area of
265,243 square miles and it is formed with three
wards and 188 villages of 54 village-tracts.

Department U Tin Aung Win, we went to the tributary
Inter-village road at the entrance to Ngapayin Model Village of Budalin Township. (See page 7)

Gene discovery reveals critical

protein’s function in hearing
WASHINGTON, 22 Aug —Discovery of a deafness-
causing gene defect in mice has helped identify a new
protein that protects sensory cells in the ear, according
to a study led by University of Iowa researchers in the
United States.
The findings, which also involved Kansas State
University, appeared in the 21 Aug issue of the open-
access journal PLoS Genetics. In humans, hereditary
deafness is one of the most common birth defects, yet
most genes involved in hearing are unidentified. Mice
