The dispatch was sent to the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, and chairpersons of the people's committees of the provinces and centrally-run cities, especially Dong Nai.

The accident occurred at 08.30pm on May 1 at the factory of the Sunrise Wood Trading Co. Ltd in Vinh Cuu district, killing six people and injuring many others.

Right after learning about the accident, the PM sent his deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and directed provincial leaders to come to the scene and instruct the fixing of its consequences.

The PM requested the head of the provincial People’s Committee to give timely support to families of the deceased and assist the injured, while directing authorised agencies to clarify the reasons behind the incident and deal with the consequences, thus stabilising the factory's production.

"It is necessary to define the responsibilities of organisations and individuals in the accident and strictly handle violations (if any)," the PM said./.
