District Vice Chairman went to exchange before the 'super storm' and was called back by the female Secretary

Although storm No. 10 was forecast to make landfall in Quang Tri province, the Vice Chairman of Huong Hoa district still “carefreely” took the delegation of commune and department leaders on a sightseeing tour. The Secretary of the district Party Committee had to call the delegation to return.

The group went sightseeing at a time when "super storm" No. 10 was showing many unusual developments, with the possibility of making landfall in several central provinces, including Quang Tri, in the next few hours.

The delegation was led by Mr. Le Quang Thuan, Vice Chairman of Huong Hoa District People's Committee, together with Head of the District Party Committee's Inspection Board, staff of the District Office, Chairman of Lao Bao Town, Chairman of Huong Tan Commune...

Mr. Thuan is Vice Chairman of the district and Permanent Deputy Head of the District Flood and Storm Prevention Command Committee.

Talking to reporters, Mr. Le Quang Thuan confirmed that he was leading a delegation of district officials and chairmen of 6 communes and towns to "exchange" with leaders of Ba To district (Quang Ngai).

“We went to donate management software and participate in an economic model in Ba To district, not for tourism. This trip was planned in advance, and the work of flood and storm prevention was managed and directed by the district chairman,” said Mr. Thuan.

District Secretary asked the delegation to return.

Mr. Vo Thanh, Chairman of the District People's Committee, said that the delegation's trip to Ba To was carried out according to a pre-planned plan.

"The delegation went to the neighboring district to exchange and learn experiences in the model of raising cows in captivity and to give management software to Ba To district because there is a twinning relationship between the two districts.

Saying that we went on a tour is not correct, in fact the group went to exchange and learn experiences. The work of flood and storm prevention No. 10 is still being implemented and closely followed by me and the district departments,” Mr. Thanh said.

Ms. Ho Thi Le Ha, Secretary of Huong Hoa District Party Committee, stated: "It is unreasonable for Mr. Thuan and his delegation to leave the locality to work in Ba To district at this time."

According to her, although there was a plan and schedule in advance, while storm No. 10 is evolving abnormally and is likely to make landfall in Quang Tri, flood and storm prevention work must be given top priority.

“After receiving the feedback, I directly called Mr. Thuan and asked him and the working group to return to the locality tomorrow morning,” said Ms. Ha.
