Lao Cai - Bao Yen district authorities have stopped searching for 7 missing people in the landslide in Lang Nu.

On October 10, Chairman of the People's Committee of Phuc Khanh Commune Nong The Manh said that by the end of today, all rescue forces and machinery will withdraw from the landslide scene in Lang Nu.

The decision to stop the search was agreed with local residents at a meeting in late September.

According to Mr. Nong The Manh, over the past 10 days, forces have continued to search the area, with excavators digging nearly ten meters deep in some areas, but no more victims have been found.

On October 8, the People's Committee of Bao Yen district announced that two more victims had been identified from the results of DNA testing of samples collected since early October. Of these, three samples were collected by authorities from victims drifting on the Chay River and three samples from corpses in Lang Nu.

Up to now, the flash flood in the early morning of September 10 buried 33 households, affected 40 families, killed 60 people, and 7 people are still missing.

Immediately after the flash flood occurred, a rescue force of more than 650 people, including soldiers from Military Region 2, border guards, dog units, police and local militia, was mobilized to participate in the search and rescue.

On the afternoon of September 24, after the troops withdrew, Bao Yen district maintained nearly 200 people and excavators to search for another 10 days.

However, the search became increasingly difficult due to the large landslide area and was interrupted at times by prolonged heavy rains that caused floodwaters to flow in, bringing with them mud.
