(Baonghean.vn) - The massive amount of mud and soil spilled onto the road surface has prevented traffic from flowing through the central road of Muong Xen town (Ky Son district), despite support in terms of manpower and equipment from local authorities and military units.

| Besides the mud on the road surface, there is also mud from people's homes and government offices that the forces are shoveling and pulling out, making the amount even larger and causing delays in road clearing. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| There are sections of water so deep that it's impossible to wade through, so the locals use bamboo poles to cross them for transportation. Photo: Hoai Thu |

| Mr. Tho Ba Re, Vice Chairman of the Ky Son District People's Committee, said: "The urgent task right now is to make every effort to clear the roads and provide relief supplies to the people. Although the district has mobilized the maximum number of excavators, along with the support of units, localities, and police and military forces to clear the roads, due to the thick layer of mud and soil, it cannot be cleared in one or two days and may take many more days. In addition, the road from Muong Xen town to Tay Son commune has also been affected by landslides at many points, but machinery cannot yet access it to clear the debris." (Photo: Xuan Hoang) |
