As of this morning (October 12), the police, military, fire prevention and fighting police forces, and officials and people of Chau Tien and Lien Hop communes are still continuing to search for the whereabouts of the victim Lang Gia Huy (born in 2013).

This morning, the number of people participating in the search has reached more than 200 people, including the above forces. Mr. Hoang Quang Tiep - Chairman of Chau Tien Commune People's Committee said that due to the high mountain terrain and strong water flow, it has caused many difficulties for the search force. By this morning, the rain had stopped and the stream water had begun to decrease.

Previously, as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, at 6:15 a.m. on October 10, Lang Gia Huy, residing in Pat village, Chau Tien commune, was on his way to a neighbor's house to find his grandfather when he was swept away by the water.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tung - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quy Hop district said that the district has mobilized all possible forces to participate in the search for the child swept away by the flood. People and officials of the two communes located along the stream have also been mobilized to the maximum. "Because the stream flows through the mountain cave for more than 7km, it has greatly affected our search efforts" - Mr. Tung said./.
