Heavy rain causes disruption, many teachers stuck on the way to school

(Dan Tri) - Heavy rains caused many culverts to overflow, flooding roads in Quang Tri. In A Doi commune, traffic was cut off, leaving 11 teachers stranded on their way to school.

At noon on October 27, the Quang Tri Provincial Civil Defense Command reported that heavy rain had fallen in the area over the past 12 hours. Water levels on the Gianh, Nhat Le, Kien Giang, Ben Hai, and Thach Han rivers were at alarm level 1, while the O Lau river was above alarm level 2.

Heavy rains have caused flooding and disruption to transportation on many roads and bridges in the communes of Vinh Dinh, Dien Sanh, Ba Long, A Doi, Dakrong, and Nam Hai Lang (Quang Tri province).

Mr. Tran Trong Kim, Chairman of the People's Committee of A Doi commune, informed that there are 3 areas in the commune that are cut off due to heavy rain, affecting the movement of people.

According to Mr. Kim, on the morning of October 27, rising floodwaters at the Loa and Xa Tuong ford crossings in A Doi commune trapped 11 teachers working at Ba Tang Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School on their way to school.

Due to the complex situation caused by heavy rain and flooding, Ba Tang Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School has sought guidance from higher authorities and allowed teachers and students to take a temporary break to ensure safety.

“I and 10 other teachers were on our way to school, but the roads were cut off by the floods, so we got stuck. There are many flooded areas on Provincial Road 586, so we are temporarily staying at people's houses, waiting for the water to recede,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh, a teacher at Ba Tang Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School.

In areas severely affected by flooding due to heavy rains, local authorities in Quang Tri province have erected barricades and posted warning signs, prohibiting people from passing through to ensure safety.

Local authorities in this province have also deployed forces to monitor and continue to assess the situation at areas at risk of flooding and landslides in order to develop response plans.
