Deputy Minister, Vice Chairman of the Ethnic Committee Y Vinh Tor visited and encouraged people in the flooded areas of Tuyen Quang

Deputy Minister, Vice Chairman of the Ethnic Committee Y Vinh Tor, on behalf of the accompanying units, presented 1 billion VND to contribute to Tuyen Quang province in overcoming the consequences of floods.

At the reception of the support fund presented by the Ethnic Committee representing the sponsoring units, on the side of Tuyen Quang province, there were: Mr. Nguyen Hung Vuong - Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee - Chairman of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee; Mr. Nguyen The Giang - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; leaders of a number of provincial departments and branches.

Speaking at the support handover ceremony for Tuyen Quang province, Deputy Minister and Vice Chairman of the Ethnic Committee Y Vinh Tor sent his condolences and sympathies for the damage caused by storms and floods in the past few days in the province. Deputy Minister and Vice Chairman Y Vinh Tor hoped that Tuyen Quang province would continue to implement measures to support ethnic people to overcome the consequences of storms and floods and soon stabilize their lives.

Linh Phu is a particularly disadvantaged commune in Chiem Hoa district. The commune has a population of more than 2,600, of which more than 780 are Mong people. The damage caused by floods after storm No. 3 will make it difficult for the commune to achieve its goal of raising the average income per capita to over 39 million VND/person/year by the end of 2024.

On behalf of the leaders of the Ethnic Committee and sponsors, Deputy Minister and Vice Chairman Y Vinh Tor presented 1 billion VND in support to help Tuyen Quang province overcome the consequences of the flood.

After handing over the support money to the province, Deputy Minister and Vice Chairman Y Vinh Tor and the working delegation went to Linh Phu commune of Chiem Hoa district. This is a remote commune, isolated for many days, with many ethnic minority households having their houses collapsed due to floods.

Also attending were Mr. Nguyen The Giang - Vice Chairman of Tuyen Quang Provincial People's Committee; Mr. Ma Quang Hieu - Head of Tuyen Quang Provincial Ethnic Minorities Committee and leaders of Chiem Hoa district.

The road to Linh Phu commune was only opened late yesterday afternoon (September 12). However, by noon on September 13, the road to Linh Phu was still very difficult to travel.

Especially the section across Lung Nhieu spillway (Lung Nhieu village), the water is still deep. To ensure the safety of the people and the relief teams, Linh Phu commune has assigned youth union members to stand as "living markers" along the length of the spillway.

"I hope that people living in areas with high risks of natural disasters will develop their experience in responding to natural disasters, promote the spirit of solidarity and mutual love to stabilize their lives," Deputy Minister and Vice Chairman Y Vinh Tor suggested.

On the side of the local Party Committee and government, Deputy Minister and Vice Chairman Y Vinh Tor requested that the district and commune pay attention to support and arrange, absolutely not let households have no place to live, lack food, lack essential necessities; rearrange and relocate residents, move households living in dangerous areas to safe places.
