Mr. Vi Dinh Phuc - Chairman of the People's Committee of Luong Minh Commune said: "Lost near the foot of the Ban Ve hydroelectric dam, Luong Minh commune suffered severe consequences when the hydroelectric plant released floodwaters. Currently, the recovery work is still very messy, especially the lack of a plan to arrange new housing for 35 households in Minh Phuong village. Youth Union members of the communes promptly helped people dismantle and move their houses and build temporary shelters."
