Heartbreaking for Lang Nu: 400 soldiers withdraw, 12 people remain 'forever' missing!

After 15 days of searching for the unfortunate people buried under the soil, the soldiers of Division 316 withdrew from Lang Nu. The remaining work was handed over to local forces. When hearing the news, the online community seemed to be shocked because there were still 12 people left under the deep soil.

How tragic and heartbreaking, Lang Nu! This used to be a peaceful and beautiful village, but in just a few minutes, this place was 'erased' and became desolate, filled with cries of grief.

Speaking to reporters, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Tri Thanh, Deputy Chief of Political Affairs of Division 316 (Military Region 2), said that all 300 soldiers of the unit will withdraw from the landslide scene in Lang Nu village (Bao Yen, Lao Cai) today. In addition, border guards and sniffer dogs were also ordered to withdraw from the scene.

After 15 days of searching, the 316th Division alone found 22 people who had unfortunately passed away in Lang Nu. According to the division representative, the most regrettable thing for the officers and soldiers is that there are still compatriots who have not been found.

Some soldiers were injured by stepping on nails and scratches while wading through the mud. The division sent forces to examine and treat them. After the troops withdrew, local forces of about 200 people continued to search for the remaining victims.

To date, the police, military and local forces have identified 55 people who died in the horrific flash flood in Lang Nu on the morning of September 10. Twelve people are still missing.

Burying the pain deep in their hearts, many lucky survivors began to stabilize their lives. However, in the first day of school after the storm and flood, Phuc Khanh Primary and Secondary School witnessed a heartbreaking scene with many empty seats. 13 students in Lang Nu will never return to school.

Mr. Pham Duc Vinh, Principal of Phuc Khanh Primary and Secondary School No. 1 (Bao Yen, Lao Cai), said that nearly 100 students in Lang Nu village returned to school on the morning of September 16. "After counting, the school lost 13 students in the flash flood, mainly in grades 2 and 6. Seven students were injured and are being treated at the hospital," Mr. Vinh shared.

Previously, Phuc Khanh School No. 1 had a school located in Lang Nu for first and second graders. After the flood, Lang Nu area was no longer safe, so Mr. Vinh decided to call all the students of the village to board at Phuc Khanh School No. 1 located 5km from Lang Nu.

"This morning in the classrooms, many seats were empty because students had left. The children were bewildered and afraid, not daring to sit in their friends' empty seats. Teachers had to coax them to sit down," the principal sadly shared. For students who lost their parents and relatives after the flood, teachers had to encourage them and give them special attention.

In the first lesson after the flash flood, teachers told students about respecting nature and protecting forests. "Our forest protection is not good, leading to many consequences of nature. Now that our friends are gone, the only thing left for you is to try to study well. When you have knowledge, you will return to help your village and your homeland," Mr. Vinh repeated his words to the students.

After many days of hard work preparing more rooms to welcome boarding students, teachers at Phuc Khanh Primary and Secondary School No. 1 today were busy organizing a Mid-Autumn Festival night for the school's students.

Before that, the school also sent a group of teachers to Lang Nu to visit students, clean up and cook for the army and police forces searching for the missing people.

In addition, in Phuc Khanh commune, Bao Yen district, Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee and Vietnam Television jointly started the construction of the reconstruction of Lang Nu village residential area. The resettlement area is built at Sim Hill, with high, spacious terrain, ensuring safety, about 2km from the old village. The construction scale of phase 1 is 10ha.

40 houses will be built with 2 floors, designed in the traditional Tay stilt house style with auxiliary facilities such as kitchens and toilets. Along with that, facilities such as schools, cultural houses, traffic systems, electricity and water will also be built, ensuring stable and long-term living for the people.
