Dong Thap province is investing more than 246 billion VND in an urgent project to combat severe erosion along the Tien River in Thuong Phuoc commune. The provincial People's Committee has approved the plan, which aims to reinforce the riverbank and prevent further landslips.

The project will construct a 1,100-meter dike using various reinforced concrete structures and geotextile sandbags. This infrastructure is crucial not only for protecting residents' lives and property but also for safeguarding local technical infrastructure and transportation networks.

This urgent measure is part of a broader, ongoing effort by Dong Thap to mitigate the unpredictable impacts of riverbank erosion. Since 2016, the province has completed 49 projects along rivers and coastlines, spanning over 76.7 kilometers and costing more than 5.5 trillion VND. These efforts have significantly enhanced safety for residents and protected vital infrastructure.
