Located in a new, synchronously planned urban area, many townhouses located on Hoang Tung Street (Hoai Duc district, Hanoi) are often flooded after heavy rains.
At Thang Long Avenue, the entrance to the urban area was also deeply flooded. Many cars trying to move through stalled and had to be rescued.
On the morning of July 24, Lao Dong reporter's records showed that after the heavy rain that lasted from yesterday (July 23), many houses adjacent to Hoang Tung Street are still in a state of being deeply submerged in water.
Right from the Nam An Khanh welcome gate, along with the surrounding roads, all were deeply submerged in water, making it difficult for vehicles to move. Even many low-slung motorbikes or cars stalled when passing by.
Meanwhile, people living in adjacent areas have to try their best to prevent flooding by using many boards to block the front door or using many objects to prevent water from entering the house. Many homes have to use pumps to suck water out.
Sharing with PV, a tenant of an adjacent apartment here said that last year there was a situation where water flooded the entire basement. Many families have to buy a pump to absorb water in the basement after heavy rain.
Here, many households have to use sandbags and stretch tarpaulins as dams to prevent water from overflowing into their homes. "Yesterday's rain lasted for a long time, the water could not drain in time, so the water rose higher than last year, even the sacks could not block it" - this person added.
According to research, many townhouses along Hoang Tung Street have posted signs for rent, or have been for sale for a long time but have not yet found an owner. On the market, the value of these adjacent apartments ranges from 15 billion to 25 billion VND.
Below are some images captured by PV Lao Dong on the morning of July 24.
