Tuyen Quang strives to fix the incident of a 10m dike break in Son Duong district

Last night (September 10), a section of the Lo River dike through Quyet Thang commune, Son Duong district (Tuyen Quang) about 10 meters long broke, causing flooding for many households in Son Duong district.

The broken dike is about 10m long, bordering Quyet Thang commune of Son Duong district and Hop Nhat commune of Doan Hung district, Phu Tho province.

As of the afternoon of September 11, rocks and soil were still falling in some areas of the broken dike.

The dike broke, exposing the internal structure.

The broken dike edge belongs to Quyet Thang commune, Son Duong district. According to Quyet Thang commune leaders, the dike breach was caused by the impact of storm No. 3 and then the Lo River rose and flowed rapidly, causing part of the dike to break on the evening of September 10.

The dike break area has been fenced off and warning ropes have been put up to ensure people's safety.

Besides the broken dike section of more than 10m, some other weak locations of the dike also show signs of degradation and damage.

The carcass of a local animal floated down the river.

As of this afternoon (September 11), many households in Quyet Thang commune, Son Duong district (Tuyen Quang) are still flooded up to the roof.

Mr. Au Van Luan, Chairman of Quyet Thang Commune, said that the authorities quickly evacuated people in the affected area.
