Mr. Vi Van Cuong - Chairman of Tri Le Commune People's Committee said: By the end of January 26, in the commune, there were 9 households in 7 villages with buffaloes and cows frozen to death, with a total of 11 animals (1 cow, 1 buffalo, 6 calves, 3 calves).

According to Mr. Cuong, right before the cold spell, the commune had promoted and mobilized people to implement solutions to prevent cold for livestock. Therefore, most households had brought their cattle to the barn and lit fires to keep them warm. However, the situation of cattle freezing to death still occurred because some of them were weak and did not have the resistance to withstand the cold rain.

Currently, the weather continues to be cold and severely cold for a long time, so authorities at all levels, especially in mountainous areas, need to proactively guide people on solutions to prevent and protect livestock from the cold, limiting economic damage.
