On the afternoon of September 28, Mr. Vu Van Quan, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Sop Cop district, said that due to many prolonged heavy rains, some cracks have appeared on the hill in Na Loc village, Sop Cop commune.
This is also the main reason why many houses around the hill have cracked foundations, walls, landslides on the positive slope, cracked embankments behind the houses and are at risk of further landslides.
According to Mr. Quan, immediately after receiving the information, the locality established a working group to inspect the area at risk of landslides and is making plans to urgently evacuate households to ensure absolute safety of life and property.
"Up to now, 39 households have been affected. Of these, 4 houses that were almost collapsed have been evacuated since September 27. Today, there is no rain in the area, however, the soil on the hill is still pushing down, so the number of affected households may increase by the day" - informed the leader of Sop Cop district.
