(Baonghean.vn) - For many years, the Thai River has played a role in draining floodwaters for many communes in Quynh Luu district. However, the situation of people encroaching and illegally building embankments for aquaculture in the middle of the river can cause blockage of the flow when the flood season comes.

Mr. Tran Binh Trong - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Hung commune admitted that for a long time, the commune had nearly 20 households in hamlets 7 and 12 encroaching on the Thai River to raise fish, causing obstruction to the flow. The commune has propagated and mobilized people not to build banks to raise fish along the river, but many households still do not comply.

Ms. Vu Thi Bich Hang - Head of the Department of Agriculture of Quynh Luu district said: Every year, during the rainy season, Quynh Luu district often experiences flooding due to the encroachment of the Thai River. Faced with this situation, the district is reviewing and coordinating with the communes of Quynh Hung, Quynh Tho, Quynh Hong... to propagate and mobilize people to dismantle the works and return the land. It is expected that by the end of 2023, the district will implement a project to dredge the sediment of the Thai River worth 8 billion VND, to drain floods for the above communes.
