On July 26, talking to Lao Dong, the leader of the People's Committee of Buon Ma Thuot city (Dak Lak province) said: "At noon on the same day, the city's authorities were still focusing on overcoming and handling the problem. Green trees fell on the rainy and windy night of July 25".
On the night of July 25, immediately after receiving information that trees on many urban roads had fallen, the functional forces of Buon Ma Thuot city were "on duty" at the scene to direct the work of overcoming the problem.
Thereby, in order to minimize the insecurity of the power grid, pedestrians may collide with fallen trees and be injured. In addition, the authorities also trimmed the branches of some trees at risk of breaking to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
"Immediately after this incident, the City People's Committee will request Dak Lak Urban and Environment Joint Stock Company to conduct a comprehensive review of trees at risk of being uprooted and broken during rain and wind to limit them to the lowest level. Similar cases may occur," the leader of Buon Ma Thuot City People's Committee added.
