Tay Ninh border guards help farmers harvest rice ahead of floodwaters

In Binh Thanh commune, troops and other forces promptly assisted the family of Nguyen Thach Hoang Duy in harvesting nearly 12 hectares of rice. Despite adverse weather conditions, the officers and soldiers worked urgently to harvest and transport the rice to safe locations, helping minimize losses for the local family.

In recent days, prolonged heavy rains across border communes in Tay Ninh province have caused water levels in rivers, canals and waterways to rise rapidly. Large areas of rice and other crops have been inundated, with water reaching depths of more than 2 meters in some places. In response, border units have pro-actively monitored the situation, coordinated with local Party committees and authorities to identify areas at risk of damage, and promptly mobilized personnel to assist local people.

According to Senior Colonel Duong Van Duoc, Deputy Political Commissar of the Tay Ninh Provincial Military Command and Political Commissar of the Tay Ninh Provincial Border Guard Command, amidst the complicated developments of the floods, the unit has identified ensuring the safety of local people's lives and property as its top priority. Its units have maintained standby forces, stayed close to their assigned areas, and closely coordinated with local authorities and other forces to help residents harvest crops and evacuate people and property to safe locations.
