Thousands of people are on duty all night to protect the safety of Ha Chau dike.

On the evening of October 8, in response to the rising floodwaters on the Cau River, the Diem Thuy Commune authorities, along with rescue forces and local people, stayed up all night, working hard to reinforce and protect the Ha Chau dike, a crucial section nearly 6km long running through the commune.

Since the afternoon of the same day, when the Cau River water level showed signs of rising rapidly, the commune proactively deployed dike protection plans, built sandbags to reinforce along the route, especially at low road sections.

At around 8 p.m., water began to overflow onto the road surface in some locations. In response to this situation, the local government mobilized the Militia and Self-Defense Force, the security teams of 63 hamlets and local residents to join in on duty, transport sandbags and materials to handle the vulnerable points. In particular, the coordination of nearly 200 officers and soldiers of the Military Region Military School increased their support, making an important contribution to the work of protecting the dike and protecting the safety of the dike.

By about 3 a.m. on October 9, thanks to the continuous efforts of the forces, the dike sections at risk of overflowing were safely reinforced.

Throughout the night, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and the Diem Thuy Commune Government were regularly present at the scene, directly directing response work, inspecting deeply flooded areas, and promptly supporting rescue work.

Quick statistics this morning show that about 3,000 households in 27 hamlets in the commune are flooded and isolated.

By early morning of October 9, the dike sections at risk of overflowing had been safely reinforced.

The Ha Chau dike is more than 16km long and is an important dike protecting the downstream area of ​​the Cau River. Local forces are still on duty, patrolling and guarding the entire route to ensure safety for the downstream area of ​​the Cau River in the coming hours.
