Children play with "death" at Pha Lai dam
(Baonghean.vn) - This hot season, every day there are dozens of children bathing and playing on the Pha Lai spillway, Mon Son commune, Con Cuong district; there is a potential for accidents to occur.
Pha Lai spillway on Giang River is an irrigation project that started construction in 2000 and was put into use in May 2002 with the purpose of retaining water for farming, people's daily life and partly meeting the needs of tourists for sightseeing and relaxation.
Since its inauguration, Pha Lai Dam has become a favorite “destination”, especially during the summer. But also because of the constant danger, the drowning disaster for children is always lurking here.
