On April 14, Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People’s Committee, inspected the construction progress and preparedness plans to ensure the safety of the province’s dike system and disaster prevention works ahead of the 2026 rainy and flood season.

Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Loan inspects the construction progress of the Thac Huong irrigation system repair and upgrade project.

The delegation conducted on-site inspections at the Gang Thep dike section, Thac Huong dam, the new 10-gate sluice, the Ha Chau dike section in Diem Thuy Commune, and the Cha dike section – No.3 sluice of the Cha dike, as well as the Cong Tao drainage pumping station in Trung Thanh Ward.

At the inspected sites, Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Loan acknowledged and highly appreciated the sense of urgency and responsibility shown by the construction units in staying close to the site and implementing key items in line with the schedule. She requested investors and contractors to maintain construction discipline, strengthen technical supervision, and ensure absolute safety, quality, and progress.

As the projects enter the final stage, while the storm and rainy season are approaching and weather conditions are forecast to be complicated, she urged relevant units to proactively develop appropriate response plans, minimize risks during construction, and prevent any incidents that could affect the works and surrounding areas.

She assigned the Department of Agriculture and Environment and the Department of Construction to coordinate in advising the provincial authorities to report to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and related agencies, to promptly seek support for upgrading the Cha and Ha Chau dike sections, ensuring long-term safety for key dike systems in the province ahead of this year’s rainy and flood season.
