Rescuing people trapped in a stream after being swept away by floodwaters during the night.

On October 3rd, the Ta Lung International Border Gate Border Guard Station (Cao Bang Provincial Border Guard) reported that they had rescued people swept away by floods during the night in the Nam Khao waterfall area, Na Chao hamlet, Phuc Hoa commune, Cao Bang province.

On the evening of October 2nd, upon receiving reports from the public about a person being swept away by floodwaters, the Ta Lung International Border Gate Border Guard Station promptly deployed rescue forces and equipment, mobilizing local people and militia to participate in the search.

At 9:45 PM on the same day, rescue forces discovered Mr. Le Xuan Nghi (born in 1998, residing in Vinh Gia commune, Soc Trang province) trapped in a stream near the Nam Khao waterfall in a state of exhaustion, bleeding, and showing signs of head injury. Border guards quickly brought the victim to safety, provided initial first aid, and transferred him to the Phuc Hoa Medical Center for further treatment. Thanks to timely emergency care, Mr. Nghi's mental state stabilized and his health recovered.

Mr. Nghi was part of a group of five people traveling by bus from Hanoi to the Ta Lung International Border Gate. Due to a road blockage in the Nam Khao area, they decided to walk across the mountains and over the waterfall to reach Na Chao village. During the journey, Mr. Le Xuan Nghi slipped and fell into a stream and was swept away by the floodwaters.

Earlier, at around 9:00 AM on October 1st, in a section of road in Ban Khau hamlet, Ha Lang commune, Mr. Nong Van Hai (born in 1993, Ban Khau hamlet, Ha Lang commune) was also swept away by floodwaters. After being notified, the authorities quickly organized a search, and by 11:00 AM on October 2nd, the victim's body was found.

The leaders of Cao Bang province have requested that units strengthen their forces to guard, control, and guide traffic to ensure safety for people and vehicles, especially at underpasses, overflows, areas with deep flooding and strong currents, and areas and locations where landslides have occurred or are at high risk of further landslides; resolutely prohibiting people and vehicles from passing through if safety cannot be guaranteed; and prevent unfortunate losses of life due to negligence or carelessness.
