Khammouan governor visits flooded victims in three districts
VIENTIANE,AUG.(KPL)- Mr. Khambai Damlath, member of the Party Central Committee and Governor of Khammouan province on 3 August visited the flooded victims in three districts of Mahaxay, Nhommalath and Xebangfay, after tropical storm Nock-Ten hit Khammouan over the weekend.
Heavy rainfall on Saturday and Sunday caused river levels to rise, inundating low lying areas of the country, but no reports of deaths or injuries have been recorded so far. Khammuan province began to feel the effects of Nock-Ten on Saturday morning. By Sunday many villages were flooded, especially in Hinboun district were 25 villages and 15 schools are still flooded.
According to the information from the agriculture and forestry service of Khammuuan province, there were likely to be large losses of livestock, with buffaloes, cows, goats and chickens feared missing. The water level of the Xebangfay river has been rising steadily, so officials are unable to assess the extent of the damage at this stage.
During the visit, Mr. Khambai Damlath also offered more than 10 billion kip to the authorities of the three said districts.
