Dak Lak: Dozens of commune officials go to the fields to harvest rice, help people escape floods

Dozens of police officers, soldiers and youth union members went to the fields to help people harvest rice and avoid damage caused by floodwaters.

On September 12, Mr. Nguyen Minh Dong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ea Na commune, Dak Lak province, said that the commune police force and youth union members had just supported people to harvest rice and escape the flood in time.

According to Mr. Dong, in recent days, due to prolonged heavy rains, some rice fields in Quynh Ngoc 2 village have been flooded. Many of the people's rice fields have ripened but have not been harvested yet. Upon receiving the news, 30 officers and soldiers of Ea Na Commune Police, grassroots security forces and 20 youth union members in the commune quickly went to the fields to harvest the rice, transporting it to shore in time, limiting damage caused by floods.

The rice was ready to be harvested when the flood water came and caused flooding.

Ms. Dang Thanh Thuy (residing in Quynh Ngoc 2 village, Ea Na commune) said that heavy rains for many days in a row caused the water level of the Krong Ana river to rise, flooding her family's rice fields. Since there was no one at home, Ms. Thuy did not know how to save the ripe rice fields. Fortunately, the commune police officers and union members arrived in time to help Ms. Thuy and the people harvest the rice.
