Tay Ninh Provincial Military Command urgently helps people overcome dike breaches

Immediately after the dike breach occurred in Hung Dien commune, Tay Ninh province, on October 20, Colonel Nguyen Dinh Huan - Deputy Commander of the Provincial Military Command, came to inspect the remedial work.

Colonel Nguyen Dinh Huan listened to a report on the work of overcoming the consequences of the dike breach caused by floods.

Colonel Nguyen Dinh Huan directed to continue reinforcing key positions to ensure absolute safety for the dike.

Colonel Nguyen Dinh Huan highly appreciated the efforts of the forces involved in overcoming the consequences of the floods, especially the spirit of urgency and responsibility in the rescue work and ensuring the safety of people in the affected areas. He directed the forces to continue reinforcing key positions to ensure absolute safety for the dike and urgently help people harvest rice.
