On the afternoon of September 23, speaking with Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Nguyen Huu Ha, Vice Chairman of Hung Nguyen District People's Committee, said: "Heavy rain for many days, the river water rose rapidly, so the Hung Dao dike is at risk of overflowing. The Hung Dao dike is nearly 2km long and is under construction. The water is almost overflowing, so the district and commune are implementing solutions to prevent the dike from overflowing."

Continuous heavy rain since September 22 has caused the water level of Lam Tra River, in Hung Dao commune, to rise rapidly.

As of this morning (September 23), the Hung Dao dike is at risk of overflowing. The river water has almost reached the top of the dike, while it is still raining heavily.

Faced with this situation, from 5am on September 23, Hung Nguyen district implemented solutions to save the dike. The district mobilized 3 excavators to build a dam to prevent overflow; assigned forces to be on duty to handle the incident, and did not allow people to pass through.

If this dike line overflows, it will affect and cause flooding in hamlets 5, 6, and 7 of Hung Dao commune. Currently, people have been notified and advised to raise their properties to avoid damage caused by flooding.

Mr. Le Huy Khoa, Chairman of Hung Dao Commune People's Committee, shared: "The commune has mobilized forces, hamlet chiefs, police, military, and mass organizations to focus on checking and counting households in need of support to raise their assets higher; in case of dike overflow or break, we will focus on supporting and evacuating people to a safe place."

It is known that in 2022, this dike section was broken due to high water levels. The dike is being upgraded and repaired. The break point in 2022 is about 800m from the location where the dike is at risk of overflowing.

Heavy rain has caused widespread flooding in Hung Nguyen district, focusing on communes along Lam River and some outlying communes such as Hung Yen Nam, Hung Trung, Hung Dao...
