| Even 3-4 year old children dive into the stream to cool off. In fact, there have been many tragic drowning cases. For example, on April 11, Nguyen Van T. (born in 2006), a 6th grade student at Dung Hop Secondary School, residing in Hamlet 2, Nghia Hop Commune, Tan Ky District, went swimming with friends in the Con River and was swept away by the water. It is thought that authorities at all levels need to take measures to warn adults and children during the upcoming hot season. Photo: Ho Phuong |
