The Prime Minister’s certificate of merit will be posthumously awarded to Vietnam News Agency (VNA)’s reporter Dinh Huu Du, who laid down his life while reporting the recent floods in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai.
The decision to this effect was signed by Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh on October 20th.
Du, who was standing on Nghia Lo town’s Ngoi Thia bridge to record images of the floods, was swept away when the bridge collapsed due to the strong flood on October 11th.
He was born in 1988 in Ninh Binh city, the province of the same name. He started working as a VNA correspondent in Yen Bai province in October 2016.
Previously, he was one of the reporters honored by the provincial People’s Committee for outstanding achievements in reporting floods and heavy rains in Mu Cang Chai district in August./.
