Comrade Huynh Thanh Dien inspected Lung Lo culvert of Vinh market where water is drained from Vinh Tan area and Vinh market to Vinh river.Here, he directed the city to soon have a solution to pump water from Vinh city to the river because currently the water surface at the culvert is horizontal with Vinh river so the water cannot drain.

At Vinh market, comrade Huynh Thanh Dien directed the city to have solutions to clear the flow, clear the manholes and have long-term solutions to upgrade the low-lying area behind Vinh market as well as improve the infrastructure of this area.

Inspecting the Cau Den pumping station, Hung Hoa commune, Vinh city, and the North Canal area, comrade Huynh Thanh Dien noticed shortcomings in these areas and requested the city to report specifically to find solutions.

Especially for the landslide of the low canal on Vinh River, comrade Huynh Thanh Dien directed the Flood and Storm Prevention Command of the province and Vinh city to quickly gather stone cages to protect the dike.

After listening to the opinions of the Departments and the city, comrade Huynh Thanh Dien acknowledged that the drainage in Vinh city has improved a lot. The recent flooding was caused by heavy rain. However, Vinh city needs to learn from the experience of subjectivity, especially during the rainy and stormy season. There must be a thorough and effective flood and storm prevention plan, and the wards and communes must have specific plans, and how to implement them on the spot.

The city needs to review the connecting canals in areas that were heavily flooded in the city during the recent flood, such as 3/2 Street, Nai Bridge, and Vinh Market. Comrade Huynh Thanh Dien also said that the city's flood plan was not thoughtful, which led to the current situation.

In the coming time, the city needs to carefully calculate and soon implement a long-term drainage plan. Urgent proposals of the city to prevent flooding need to be resolved immediately such as generators, pumping stations...
