According to records, from the afternoon of November 6, water began to rise on roads such as Nguyen Huu Tho - Le Van Luong and some low-lying areas, making it difficult for people to travel.
"The water rose very quickly, sometimes reaching the middle of the wheel. Without young people regulating, many vehicles will have difficulty moving. I am very grateful for your shock spirit, said Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Hong (residing in Tan Hung ward).
Not only ensuring traffic, the presence of union members also helps people feel more secure when passing through flooded areas. "I work as a worker, I work overtime right when the water rises, and the scooter is low, so I have to walk. Fortunately, union members helped and drove the car through the flooded section. I am really happy, said Mr. Le Van Minh, residing in Tan Hung Ward.
"Seeing people driving so hard, we just thought we had to help immediately. Although everyone is wet, everyone is happy because they can do useful work, said a Regent of the Tan Hung Ward Youth Union.
Tan Hung Ward People's Committee said that this activity is part of the local high tide response plan. The government acknowledged and commended the sense of responsibility, proactiveness and enthusiasm of the ward's youth, and assessed this as a model that needs to be replicated in the upcoming flood season.
