On the afternoon of October 21, Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong led a working delegation to inspect the recovery of the consequences of storm No. 11 in Kim Van village (Van Lang commune) and Lung Sien village (Vinh Thong commune). These are two areas that were severely affected for a long time after the storm; to date, many areas are still deeply flooded, making people's lives difficult.

The delegation included comrade Dinh Quang Tuyen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee; members of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, leaders of the Provincial People's Committee; representatives of relevant departments and branches.

Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong surveyed the flood situation and disaster recovery work in Lung Sien village, Vinh Thong commune.

In Lung Sien village, Vinh Thong commune, reporting to the working group, the commune leader said: The flood has flooded the houses of 14 households with 42 people; the cultural house and school were also deeply flooded. Currently, the water has basically receded, the police, army and militia forces are focusing on supporting people to clean up, repair houses, restore production and stabilize their lives.

Up to now, some households in Lung Sien are still deeply flooded.

Visiting and encouraging the forces and affected households, Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong shared the difficulties and losses of the people, especially households deeply flooded and suffering heavy property damage; at the same time, encouraged people to uphold the spirit of solidarity, coordinate with the government and functional forces to promptly overcome the consequences of floods and soon stabilize their lives.

Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong gave gifts and encouraged people in Lung Sien village, Vinh Thong commune.

He emphasized that under all conditions, "no one should be left without food, clean water, or safe housing; the recovery work must be urgent but absolutely not subjective, urgent but certain and sustainable."

Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong surveyed the area planned to build a resettlement area for people in Lung Sien village, Vinh Thong commune.

After inspecting the terrain and residential area, Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong assigned the Department of Construction, Department of Agriculture and Environment to urgently coordinate with Vinh Thong commune authorities to survey and select a suitable location to relocate 14 households, along with the cultural house and Lung Sien village school to a new safe place. During the survey, the units need to carefully assess factors such as traffic, water sources, production land and livelihoods, ensuring long-term stability and sustainability for the people.

Next, the Provincial Party Secretary and the working delegation presented support gifts including food, groceries and essential items to households; and transferred gifts from the Ministry of National Defense including blankets and mosquito nets to 14 households affected by floods.

Also in the afternoon of the same day, Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong continued to inspect the work of overcoming the consequences of floods, visited and encouraged affected households in Kim Van village, Van Lang commune.

The tent area was temporarily set up by the Provincial Military Command for the people of Kim Van village, Van Lang commune.

Fifteen days have passed since the flood, but many residential areas are still deeply flooded. Commune leaders said that at the peak of the flood on October 11, many houses in Kim Van village were flooded from 3.5 to 5 meters. Up to now, the water has receded slowly, and the entire village has 36 affected households, of which 9 have returned to clean up and initially stabilized their lives, while 27 households are still living in tents temporarily set up by the Provincial Military Command. These households are all poor or near-poor, so life after the flood is even more difficult. Local authorities have provided rice, clean water and necessities to support the people.

If the weather is favorable, it will take about a month for the water to recede completely. During this time, people are in dire need of generators, flashlights and other essential items.

Many places in Kim Van village are still deeply flooded.

Inspecting the temporary accommodation, the Provincial Party Secretary highly appreciated the efforts of the local forces in proactively and promptly supporting the people. He requested the local Party Committee and authorities to urgently agree on a plan to relocate people to new accommodation; at the same time, study and arrange suitable temporary housing, because choosing a resettlement site takes time, while tents cannot be used for long-term accommodation.

He noted that the resettlement plan must ensure overall safety, not only avoiding floods but also preventing landslides, facilitating people's lives and production.

Provincial Party Secretary Trinh Xuan Truong presented gifts and money to support resettlement housing construction for people in Kim Van village, Van Lang commune.
