Many dykes in Nghe An were damaged.

The Nam Nam (Nam Dan) dyke running through the communes of Khanh Son, Nam Kim, Nam Trung, Nam Cuong, and Nam Phuc is a key dyke to prevent flooding for the people in this area, but currently, this dyke section is being seriously damaged, especially the section running through Nam Trung commune. The situation of gathering wood in long rows on the dyke body has been going on for many years but has not been completely resolved. Photo: PV |

| In hamlet 3, Nam Trung commune, the dike surface was also "magically transformed" into a carpentry workshop. Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Nam Trung commune, said: "The problem of encroachment and damage to the local dike is quite painful. The most notable of which is the gathering of wood by wood production households in the commune. Every year, the locality has launched a campaign to clear the traffic safety corridor, handle administrative violations... but after each campaign, they re-encroach. Because the confiscation of wood is beyond the commune's authority." Photo: PV |

To avoid encroachment of the dike by carpentry workshops, the Nam Trung commune government has planned a wood gathering area for households and moved the carpentry workshops out of the residential area, but has not received the consent of these households. The carpentry workshops still brazenly leave wood and work on the dike body, increasing the risk of subsidence and damage to the dike; the risk of unsafety during the rainy and flood season and difficulty in handling when incidents occur.

Mr. Vo Van Cam, Head of Hung Nguyen 1 Dike Management Department, admitted that there are still problems on the dike routes such as dumping waste, encroaching on the dike corridor... However, it is still difficult to completely handle these violations due to historical reasons. In addition, some localities have not been resolute in coordinating and clearing encroachments on the dike corridor. Photo: PV |
