Long power cuts made life harder for residents and enterprises in suburban areas of Hanoi amid the scorching weather on Saturday.
Residents sought ways to escape the heatwave while many enterprises suspended their operations during the blackouts.
In particular, part of Lai Yen Commune, Hoai Duc District suffered a power outage, causing many enterprises and business establishments to close.
The Trung Yen gas station in the Lai Yen Industrial Cluster in the namesake commune erected the ‘out of gasoline’ sign from the early morning until afternoon on Saturday due to the power cut.
Hue, a chef in the Lai Yen Industrial Cluster, said it was extremely hot during power cuts and she could not prepare meals for workers.
Two ventilation fans, an evaporative cooler, and an industrial fan are normally needed while she is cooking.
“I cannot cook without electricity. I have to buy noodles for workers. After the meal, they cannot do anything [as there is no power],” she complained.

At the end of the Vietnam War, agriculture in Vietnam employed around 75 per cent of the total workforce and produced roughly 10 million tons of rice, the country’s staple. The majority of Vietnam’s population of 50 million was significantly undernourished. Agricultural recovery was slow, blocked by the government’s collectivisation policies. Formal reform efforts through Directive 100 in 1981 partially freed up agricultural markets. They accelerated with doi moi (renovation) in 1986 and the Law on Land in 1988. The latter granted land use rights to households and stimulated a dramatic response from farmers.
