Landslides cut off many hamlets in the mountainous commune of Phu Tho

Yên San |

Phu Tho - After storm No. 10, many roads in Lac Luong commune were seriously eroded, infrastructure was damaged, causing many households to be severely affected.

According to the People's Committee of Lac Luong commune, from September 28 to 30, 2025, storm No. 10 caused prolonged heavy rain with strong winds, causing many areas in the area to be flooded, and essential infrastructure to be severely damaged.

The whole commune had 176 flooded houses, 30 households had landslides; 24 households with nearly 100 people had to be urgently evacuated from high-risk areas. Regarding traffic, 60 traffic points were eroded; 5 culverts were washed away and damaged, 3 were flooded.

The local government urgently deployed the recovery work immediately after the storm. However, due to prolonged heavy rain and steep mountainous terrain, many landslides continue to expand, making it difficult to clear rocks and restore traffic.

Up to now, nearly 2 months since storm No. 10, the road from the commune center to the disadvantaged areas still shows signs of landslides. The am slope was deeply dug, the road surface was peeling and cracked, causing many dangers to people's travel.

This road is a vital traffic axis connecting the commune center with remote areas such as Thuong, Sao Vot, Yen Tan..., so the damage makes people's lives even more difficult.

Mr. Bui Van Duc - a resident of Yen Tan hamlet, shared that for more than a month, the road leading to the hamlet has been continuously eroded, with some sections requiring heavy rain to cause rocks and soil to overflow, posing many potential risks. People hope the government and authorities will soon repair it to make travel safer.

Sharing the same concern, Mr. Bui Van Trieu - Head of Sao Vot hamlet, said: "The subsidence points on the main road are becoming increasingly clear, the rainy season is always a constant concern because the risk of landslides can happen at any time".

According to Mr. Trieu, the terrain of Lac Luong commune is mainly mountainous, with scattered residents, and a lack of synchronous traffic infrastructure. Many roads are degraded, especially in the hamlets formerly in the old Lac Sy commune.

Faced with the complicated situation, the commune government has put up warning signs at dangerous locations and advised people to limit travel in areas with signs of subsidence. Households in high-risk areas are instructed to temporarily relocate to ensure the safety of their lives.

On November 23, 2025, speaking with reporters, Mr. Bui Van Hoa - Chairman of Lac Luong Commune People's Committee said that the locality is focusing on repairing damaged areas, while continuing to review locations at risk of landslides.

"The government also recommends that superiors soon allocate funds to restore essential infrastructure, especially inter-hamlet traffic routes to ensure safety and stability for people's lives in the coming time," Mr. Hoa informed.
