Tuyen Quang mobilizes forces to search for student who drowned.

NDO - At approximately 6 PM on May 6th, a tragic drowning incident occurred at the sandbank under the Tinh Huc bridge on the Lo River, in the section flowing through Nong Tien and Hung Thanh wards of Tuyen Quang city, resulting in the disappearance of a student.

The victim has been identified as NKA, born in 2011, a student in class 8A at Phan Thiet Junior High School, Tuyen Quang City.

According to initial information, a group of students went to an unauthorized swimming area under the Tinh Huc bridge to play, and while swimming in the river, student NKA unfortunately drowned.

The Tình Húc sandbank on the Lô River, bordering Nông Tiến and Hưng Thành wards in Tuyên Quang city, has become an impromptu swimming spot for local residents.

During the hot season, some alluvial plains along the Lo River are used by locals as impromptu swimming spots, always posing a risk of drowning, especially for young children.

The People's Committees of Nong Tien Ward and Hung Thanh Ward have posted signs to inform, remind, and warn people to stay safe when coming to this area, but many people still disregard the danger and swim out into the water. In recent years, there have been several tragic drowning incidents in this area.

Immediately after receiving the information, the authorities in Tuyen Quang province arrived at the scene to organize a search for the victim.
