Mr. Le Dinh Thanh - Vice Chairman of Thanh Chuong District People's Committee said that currently, due to the deep flood water, localities do not have accurate statistics on the damage to people's property, irrigation works, bridges, but after this flood, the damage is certainly very large. Worryingly, with the situation of hydroelectric reservoirs discharging floodwater, the flooding in Thanh Chuong will last for many more days. To limit damage to people, the entire political system from district to commune has been strengthened to the grassroots to grasp the situation and guide people to avoid risks. Photo: Xuan Hoang
