(Baonghean.vn) - The main road from Muong Xen town to Tay Son commune is considered the most arduous road in Ky Son district at this time because the flash flood has completely destroyed many sections of the road, with huge rocks blocking the road, cutting off traffic and threatening the lives of people traveling through here.

After the historic flash flood, in addition to hundreds of houses damaged and completely swept away, many traffic routes in Ky Son district are still full of rocks and soil. In particular, the route from Muong Xen town through Ta Ca commune to Tay Son is considered the most "suffering" route in the district at this time, even though 2 weeks have passed, the road is still in disarray.

It is worth mentioning that the soil layer on this road has been soaked with water for a long time, the humus is weak, and there is a risk of landslides if it continues to rain in the coming days. At that time, the already small Muong Xen - Tay Son road will be even narrower. Photo: Quang An

Because the Muong Xen - Tay Son route is completely cut off, people can only walk on this road. If they are forced to bring their vehicles home, they must mobilize many people to carry the vehicles over steep slopes. Photo: Quang An
Mr. Tho Ba Re - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Son district said: Currently, the Muong Xen - Tay Son route is the most severely damaged in the area. The district has directed the installation of warning signs to limit traffic through these areas, especially during rainy and windy weather. At the same time, mobilize human resources and means to temporarily repair this route as soon as possible. Photo: Xuan Hoang
It was not until October 18 that Ky Son district was able to mobilize machinery to level the road and open the way for people on this route because the machinery had to prioritize repairing the buried villages. A representative of the Economic - Infrastructure Department of Ky Son district said that leveling was only a temporary solution to create a path for people. Photo: Quang An
Along this route, the border guards are always on duty to help people overcome landslides. Major Nguyen Van Quyen - Deputy Head of Muong Ai Border Guard Station said: The unit always maintains 20 officers and soldiers to help people overcome the consequences of flash floods and landslides over the past 2 weeks. The main work is to clear rocks and soil, repair houses, fences... the biggest priority is to open the road for people to travel. Photo: Xuan Hoang
People living along the Muong Xen - Tay Son route are also taking advantage of every minute and every hour to join forces to clear rocks and soil with the hope that the road can be cleared soon so that people can return to normal life. Photo: Xuan Hoang
