Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep directed the work of overcoming dike incidents in Xuan Cam and Hop Thinh communes.

BAC NINH - On the afternoon of July 2, a working delegation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment led by Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hiep, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment, inspected the extrusion and bubbling circuit incidents at the suction tank area of Cam Bao Pumping Station, Xuan Cam Commune and the landslide incident from K8+100 to K8+250 on the left dike of Cau, through Bao Tan Village, Hop Thinh Commune.

Receiving and working with the delegation were comrade Le Xuan Loi, member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Vice Chairman of the Bac Ninh Provincial People's Committee; representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Provincial People's Committee Office, the People's Committees of Xuan Cam and Hop Thinh communes.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep directed the handling of landslides in Bao Tan village, Hop Thinh commune.

According to a quick report from the Department of Agriculture and Environment, on June 19, the riverbank and beach area of the left dike of Cau (corresponding to K8+100-K8+250) experienced a landslide that ate into the riverbank from 5-15m with a total length of about 150m. By June 27, the riverbank and beach area from K8+250-K8+500 continued to erode, connecting to the previous landslide point.

Through monitoring in recent days, the landslide location from K8+100-K8+250 continued to develop, eroding further into the riverbank by 4-5m. In response to the above incident, the local authorities mobilized human resources to clear the dike slope on the eastern side of the landslide area with a length of about 150m; built a layer of sandbags; used tarpaulins to limit rainwater flowing directly from the surface and dike slope into the landslide area; and supported the relocation of 5 households with about 20 people to temporarily live elsewhere to ensure safety.

The landslide occurred at Mr. Ngo Xuan Truong's family, Bao Tan village, Hop Thinh commune.

Regarding the incident of the extrusion and bubbling circuit in the suction tank area of Cam Bao Pumping Station, according to the report of Nam Song Thuong Irrigation Works Exploitation One Member Limited Liability Company, the incident of the extrusion and bubbling circuit in the suction tank of the pumping station was discovered at 10:30 a.m. on June 30. During the incident handling process, two new bubbling circuits continued to appear. The locality mobilized local forces to build a dike to separate the area where the bubbling circuit appeared, and at the same time, poured sand to cover the entire affected area with an area of more than 200 square meters, with an average height of about 1.5 meters.

The landslide has eaten deep into Mr. Ngo Xuan Truong's yard.

Through inspections at the two areas where the incident occurred, Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep acknowledged and highly appreciated the proactiveness of professional agencies and authorities from the province to the locality in the process of overcoming the incident. In particular, the spirit of "4 on-site" initiative was promoted to mobilize human resources, materials, equipment, vehicles, ensuring the coordination plan between the military and the police to handle the incident in the first hour, not allowing the incident to spread and keeping the construction safe.

He emphasized the extremely dangerous nature of the two incidents mentioned above, especially when the stormy weather is becoming more and more complicated. He requested the province and communes to focus on the task of overcoming the incident; ensuring the safety of the dikes, the safety of lives and property of the people and the State.

Comrade Le Xuan Loi, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, quickly reported on the incident response work at Cam Bao Pumping Station to the working delegation.

The Deputy Minister requested Bac Ninh province to urgently reassess the current status of all dikes in the province, especially key areas at risk of landslides and areas undergoing landslides. Proactively research and develop technical plans and mobilize investment resources to reinforce, renovate, upgrade and expand to ensure the dikes are effective in preventing floods and rural transport infrastructure.

At the same time, after implementing the stable arrangement of administrative units, the province needs to continue to pay attention to renovating and upgrading the infrastructure of long-standing irrigation works that have now deteriorated.

Forces and vehicles are fixing the problem at Cam Bao Pumping Station.

Comrade Le Xuan Loi, on behalf of the provincial leaders, accepted the direction of the Deputy Minister and requested the People's Committees of Hop Thinh and Xuan Cam communes to thoroughly grasp the direction and make efforts with the military and police forces to focus on completing the incident handling as soon as possible.

Here, comrade Le Xuan Loi also, on behalf of the provincial leaders, proposed that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment pay attention to providing investment funds so that the province has more resources to thoroughly handle incidents, renovate and upgrade works, and ensure safety for dykes and irrigation works.
