At 18:00 on May 19, heavy rain with thunderstorms ripped off the roofs of four houses in Binh Ly hamlet and Binh Thanh B hamlet, Binh Thanh commune, Hong Ngu city, Dong Thap province.
To help local people overcome the disaster’s consequences, on the evening of May 19 and the morning of May 20, the Binh Thanh Border Post sent dozens of troops to move the victims to safer places. Meanwhile, they also repaired houses for the thunderstorm-hit people.
According to Political Commissar of the Binh Thanh Border Post Captain Dao Duy Viet, heavy rains and winds damaged crops, fruit trees and barns in the locality. Therefore, Le Ha Luan, Secretary of the Hong Ngu City’s Party Committee led a delegation to visit, encourage and hand over VND 10 million to each household.
