The Vietnam News Agency correspondent quoted Xinhua as saying on July 26 that since July 25, Chongqing City has continued to suffer a heavy rain.
Heavy rains across 33 districts and towns of this city caused the water level in 4 small and medium rivers within this city such as Du Giang and Doan Than rivers to exceed the warning level.
During the period from 8 hours on 25/7 to 8 hours on 26/7, the largest rainfall measured in Long Son village, Kim Son town, Nam Xuyen district, Chongqing at 197.5mm.
In addition, heavy rain also caused landslides in the area of Luc Tinh village, Tho Dia village, Vu Long district, Trung Khanh.
This landslide disrupted the village's road traffic and blocked the flow of the Dien Thuong River, a tributary of the O Giang River.
The flow of the river blocked by rock has created a natural reservoir in the area, prompting local authorities to urgently evacuate people downstream.
In response to this heavy rain, the Chongqing Flood and Storm Control Committee soon issued a Level III flood warning at 13:00 on July 26, and had to start a response system emergency level IV flood prevention.
Districts, districts and related units are required to strengthen patrols, stay on duty, promptly mobilize rescue teams and emergency supplies and evacuate people in threatened areas./.
