Tuyen Quang: More than 300 students evacuated at night due to heavy rain

On the night of September 8 and early morning of September 9, heavy rains occurred in Thanh Tin commune, Tuyen Quang province. Heavy rains caused water and mud to flood into the campus of Thanh Tin Primary and Secondary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities.

Heavy rain caused water and mud to flood the campus of Thanh Tin Primary and Secondary Boarding School, causing damage to the facilities.

As soon as water and mud were discovered flooding the school grounds, school staff promptly evacuated 301 boarding students to a safe location.

Heavy rains caused three concrete embankments of the school to collapse, making it unsafe; more than 200 ^cubic meters of mud and soil flooded into the school grounds, damaging all mattresses, blankets, clothes and belongings of students.

Mr. Hoang Tien Dung, Secretary of the Party Committee of Thanh Tin commune, said that the reason for the water and mud flooding into the school campus was due to heavy rains that carried away a lot of trash and dry trees, causing blockages in drainage ditches and sewers.

Move more than 300 students to safety.

On September 9, the commune government gave students a day off to deal with damaged boarding school supplies and clean the school.

At the same time, the budget will be used to buy new blankets and mosquito nets in time to ensure that students can return to school as usual on September 10.

Authorities, parents and the school are urgently clearing mud and soil, reinforcing the landslide area, and providing necessary living supplies for boarding students.

Local authorities and functional forces support the school to overcome the consequences.

In the coming time, Thanh Tin commune will continue to mobilize human resources to repair and clear the flow, and at the same time propose to superiors to support funding for repairing school facilities.
