Water continues to rise in low-lying areas, Thanh Chuong urgently reinforces dikes

On the morning of September 30, Mr. Trinh Van Nha - Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Thanh Chuong district said that last night, the functional forces and people in the flooded area of ​​Thanh Chuong district continued to have a sleepless night.

While flood water in highland communes such as Thanh My and Hanh Lam has begun to decrease, in the lower district, flood water continues to increase, threatening key dikes.

In Thanh Duong commune, the government and people stayed up all night to handle and reinforce the collapsed Ba Dong dike.

In Dai Dong commune, commune and hamlet officials and dike management forces had to be on duty at the low dike section to prevent water from overflowing.

On the morning of September 30, Thanh Lien commune authorities reinforced the Giang River dike.

This is the low dike section of Thanh Lien commune. Yesterday, water overflowed the dike. Although the water level of Giang River has begun to decrease, to ensure absolute safety for the people, the district armed forces coordinated with the commune militia and people from the hamlets to use sandbags to raise the dike level.

On the morning of September 30, a working delegation of the Provincial Military Command led by Colonel Dinh Bat Van - Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the Nghe An Provincial Military Command inspected and encouraged the dike rescue force in Thanh Lien.

In the communes of Bich Hao area (including Thanh Xuan, Thanh Mai Thanh Lam, Thanh Giang, Thanh Tung, Thanh Ha communes...), this morning, the water continued to rise. In the photo: Dang Market area, Thanh Xuan commune, the water flooded more than half of the market hall.
