In recent days, prolonged heavy rain has caused flooding and landslides in some areas of Na Loi commune.

In particular, heavy rain on the evening of July 5 washed away the temporary bridge in Na Loi 2 village, cutting off the road connecting the commune center with Pieng Lau and Xuoi Xan villages. Meanwhile, heavy rain caused landslides, causing rocks and soil to flow down from the mountain, damaging a house in Don Boong village.
