Due to the impact of storm Wipha, widespread heavy rains and floods from Laos caused thousands of houses in the border communes of Nghe An to be deeply submerged. To date, many communes are still flooded, cut off from traffic, and difficult to access.
Under the direction of the Ministry of Science and Technology, since July 23, Viettel Networks has opened roaming, connecting telecommunication waves so that users of all networks can communicate via Viettel waves in isolated areas. Specifically, Viettel has opened roaming in 16 communes in the Nghe An border area and today (July 24) continued to add 11 more communes, bringing the total number of communes roaming into the Viettel network to 27, ensuring that mobile subscribers in these areas can maintain stable operations; meeting the needs of communication and rescue.
