(Baonghean.vn) - Although not far from the center of Muong Long commune, Ky Son district, Sa Lay village remains isolated during rainy days. The reason is that the roads are extremely difficult to navigate, muddy and full of potholes.
Sa Lay is one of 13 villages in Muong Long commune, Ky Son border district. The road from the center of Muong Long commune to Sa Lay village is about 2 km long. However, only about 500m has been paved with concrete to prevent slippage. The remaining sections are still dirt roads, dusty in the dry season and slippery and muddy in the rainy season.

Mr. Vu Ba Xu, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Muong Long commune, said that after two days of rain, the road to Sa Lay village had become full of mud and standing water. If it rains for a few more days, the households in Sa Lay village will be isolated because they will be unable to travel.

It's also where the village children often play.

The biggest obstacle currently preventing the locality from eradicating poverty is the extremely difficult road infrastructure. Photo: HT
