Hi azhar,
Try this one.I tried this one in my org and able to display long textarea field data in vf page.If you are using standard controller make sure you are passing BrenUpdates record  id  in the URL using id parameter like this.
Append record id after the pagename in the url like this

https://test.visualforce.com/apex/longtextarea?id=0012v00002jTmLj 
<apex:outputText value="{!HTMLENCODE(account.description)}"  escape="false" />

Hope this helps you
If this helps kindly mark it as solved so that it may help others in future.

Thanks and Regards

Dear Chandrika,

It was working fine but I need some line breaks because the data which it was showing in the VF page doesn't have any line breaks.

I need the matter to be in proper order as it was before.

Please give some solution for line breaks.

Thanks and Regards,
Azar Khasim.
