People proactively reinforce houses and protect property from storm No. 9

BAC NINH - Although storm No. 9 weakened when it made landfall, with the spirit of not being subjective or negligent in the face of natural disasters, and making efforts to minimize damage, on September 24, people in localities in Bac Ninh province proactively reinforced their houses, quickly harvested the winter-spring rice crop, and protected crops and livestock.

This year's crop, the whole province has more than 94 thousand hectares of rice and vegetables. Implementing the motto "green house is better than old field", to reduce damage to the agricultural sector, localities have directed the quick harvest of early-ripening rice areas. Places where early-ripening rice is being harvested are: Hop Thinh, Xuan Cam, Quang Trung...
