The project has a scale of about 15ha, with a total investment of 38 billion VND. Phase 1 was completed, handing over land to 73 households from 2020.

However, after a period of use, landslides and subsidence appeared in many locations in the resettlement area. Prolonged heavy rain caused soil and rocks on the surrounding hillsides to become unstable, forming many landslide arcs.

In many locations, taluy slopes are eroded, forming high soil cliffs, close to people's houses.

Some auxiliary works were tilted and collapsed when the ground below slid. The cracked and subsided soil also caused drainage ditches and some concrete items to break.

Rainwater from above continues to flow through damaged drainage works, causing soil erosion, increasing the risk of landslides.

Faced with the above situation, people have to use tarpaulins, bricks and available items to block and direct the water flow, limiting erosion into the area near their houses.

Every time it rains heavily, households must regularly monitor the development of the soil around their residences.

Local authorities have erected warning signs of danger, areas at risk of landslides in unsafe locations.
