Landslides disrupt traffic in Hue

Meanwhile, heavy rainfall overnight on November 9 triggered landslides at several locations along National Highway 49 in A Luoi 5 Commune, Hue City.

Large quantities of soil, rocks, tree branches and debris spilled onto the road, obstructing traffic and posing risks to motorists.

Authorities temporarily suspended traffic through the affected sections to ensure safety while mobilizing personnel to clear the debris.

Speaking to VietNamNet on the morning of November 10, Le Trung Hieu, Chairman of the A Luoi 5 Commune People's Committee, said the landslide-affected sections of National Highway 49 had been cleared and traffic had resumed normally.

Heavy rainfall also caused soil and rocks to spill onto a section of the Ho Chi Minh Highway passing through A Luoi 2 and A Luoi 3 communes.

Emergency crews were working to remove the debris and restore safe travel conditions.

Hue increases discharge from two hydropower reservoirs

On the morning of November 10, Hue City's Civil Defense Command ordered increased water discharge through the spillways and turbines of the Huong Dien and Binh Dien hydropower reservoirs.

At Huong Dien Reservoir, the increased discharge began at 7am, with flows expected to range from 300 to 1,000 cubic meters per second.

At Binh Dien Reservoir, the adjustment began at 10am, with expected discharge rates of 200-800 cubic meters per second.

Discharge rates at both reservoirs are being increased gradually based on actual water inflows.

Authorities have instructed downstream communes and wards to strictly prohibit boating, collecting firewood and fishing in rivers and waterways, except where permission has been granted by competent authorities.

Local administrations have also been directed to notify residents so they can take appropriate precautions.
