Nhon Mai flash flood area continues heavy rain, National Highway 16 seriously broken
According to local residents, heavy rain continued to fall on the evening of June 4 in Nhon Mai Commune (Tuong Duong), causing serious erosion on National Highway 16 and isolating some villages again.
Residents of Xoi Voi village, Nhon Mai commune, Tuong Duong district said that heavy rain continued to fall in the afternoon and evening of June 4. The prolonged rain caused rivers and streams to rise at a dizzying speed. Some streams and roads that had not been repaired after the flash flood on the night of May 29 were now eroded and landslides continued.
Specifically, the strong, rising water flow caused the road from Xoi Voi village to Co Ha village to be flooded, eroded and temporarily cut off this morning (June 5). Xoi Voi village currently has 70 households and Co Ha village has 30 households. People in Xoi Voi and Co Ha villages are not able to travel back and forth.
This is also the section of National Highway 16 through Nhon Mai commune, which has now collapsed and is severely broken, making it impassable.
On the morning of June 5, Nhon Mai commune authorities issued a warning to residents not to travel on the above-mentioned road. At the same time, they encouraged households in the disaster-affected areas to continue supporting and helping each other to overcome the consequences and stabilize their lives.
With the unusual weather, the rice fields that have not been harvested yet, the people of Nhon Mai commune with the help of the authorities are urgently harvesting and bringing the rice to high places. Households whose houses are damaged are currently borrowing houses from relatives and neighbors.
The leader of Nhon Mai Commune People's Committee said that with the support of all forces, currently, about 90% of the rice area has been harvested.

In particular, on June 4, the officers and soldiers of Nhon Mai Border Guard Station sent forces to help people harvest rice, avoiding the situation of rice being soaked in water for a long time leading to germination and total loss, concentrated in Tham Tham, Xoi Voi, Nhon Mai villages... In particular, in Nhon Mai village, the Border Guard force focused on supporting 3 households with heavy losses including: Mr. Vi Van Hue (born in 1987), Ms. Lo Thi Hoai (1984) and Ms. Vi Thi Huong (1984), with a total affected area of about 1,000m².
