Step 1 of the road to Ban Cai commune (Bac Ha) has been cleared.

As Lao Cai Newspaper reported, in the early morning of April 13, there were widespread thunderstorms in some localities in the province. Particularly in Ban Cai and Nam Luc communes (Bac Ha), heavy rain occurred locally, causing large landslides on Provincial Road 160, disrupting traffic and damaging some items at the Nam Luc Hydropower Plant.

According to Mr. Nguyen Quang Vinh, Head of the Technical Department of Nam Luc Hydropower Plant, heavy rain damaged some small items of the plant. Fortunately, the water and rocks flowed outside the area where machinery and equipment were placed, so the damage was not too great.

A section of the embankment was damaged by flood.

“We are currently reviewing, assessing the damage and developing a plan to remedy the situation, as well as flood prevention work in the coming time to avoid affecting the factory's operations and the safety of workers,” said Mr. Vinh.
