On August 1, Mr. Vo Trung Manh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Tu Mo Rong district, Kon Tum province, said that the district is counting the damage caused by storms and proposing to the Provincial People's Committee a source of funding to fix, mainly damage to the system. transportation infrastructure.
“After the storm, the mountains and hills were "soaked" in water for a long time, causing large amounts of soil and rock to erode. The district estimates the damage and is expected to need a capital of many billions of dong to ensure traffic safety for people to move," said Mr. Vo Trung Manh.
Although it was not the center of the storm, the mountainous district of Tu Mo Rong suffered heavy, continuous rain. Some sections on provincial roads, national highways, inter-commune roads... are at high risk of landslides.
In locations at risk of landslides, local authorities have set up warning wires, advising people to be careful of soil and rocks falling onto the road. Communes such as Te Xang, Ngok Yeu, Tu Tho... have sent people to be on duty at dangerous locations prone to landslides to ensure traffic safety.
Previously, in 2023, Kon Tum Provincial People's Committee allocated about 130 billion VND to districts to repair damaged traffic infrastructure systems. However, this capital source is still quite small compared to the actual needs of each locality.
Especially Tu Mo Rong and Dak Glei districts with mainly steep mountain pass terrain. If traffic is congested, many communes will be isolated during natural disasters.
