    The flooded road has caused the business of the people living along the road to stagnate. "From around the 8th lunar month onwards, there have been two floods every month like this. The flooded road makes it difficult for people to travel, and it is also difficult for us to do business. Hopefully, when the road is raised, this situation will no longer exist," said Ms. Hoa, a resident living along Tran Xuan Soan Street.
