These locations directly affect 427 households in the area, requiring urgent solutions to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
In the recently announced list, there are 8 locations assessed as particularly dangerous and 23 locations at a dangerous level.
Nha Be district is the locality with the highest number of landslides with 7 locations, including the left and right banks of Long Kieng bridge, the right bank upstream of Phuoc Loc bridge, the left and right banks of Giong canal - Kinh Lo river, the left bank of Doi canal...
Thu Duc City recorded 5 locations, including 2 particularly dangerous locations on the right and left banks of Giong Ong To canal affecting 19 households, along with 3 dangerous landslide locations on the right bank of Dong Nai river, left bank of Saigon river and the Dong Nai river section through Cat Lai waterway police station.
Can Gio district and Binh Thanh district have the same 5 landslide points, the remaining locations are scattered in District 12, Hoc Mon district, Cu Chi and Binh Chanh.
Currently, of the 31 landslide locations, 17 locations have approved embankment construction projects with a total length of more than 16 km and a total investment of more than 3,370 billion VND.
However, 14 locations still do not have embankment construction projects, causing many concerns in protecting people from the risk of continued landslides.
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has directed departments, branches and localities to strengthen the removal of difficulties, speed up the progress of establishing and appraising embankment projects. The units assigned as investors need to promptly implement construction to complete the project and put it into use, in order to protect residential areas in the affected areas.
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also requested the City Police to coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Transport and localities to increase patrols and strictly handle illegal sand and gravel mining on riverbeds.
Key rivers such as Saigon River (Cu Chi District), Dong Nai River (Thu Duc City), Long Tau River, Soai Rap River and coastal areas of Can Gio District will be closely monitored.
In addition, districts are assigned to inspect and resolutely handle cases of construction and housing encroaching on the protection corridors of river banks, canals and ditches. In areas where landslides have occurred, it is necessary to fence and cordon off areas to ensure safety, and closely monitor developments to promptly support people in moving their assets to temporary shelters.
In order to improve the effectiveness of landslide prevention, the Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Agricultural Works and Rural Development was assigned to speed up the progress of irrigation upgrade projects on the right bank of the Saigon River (Cu Chi District, District 12, Hoc Mon).
At the same time, the Management Board of Traffic Construction Investment Projects of Ho Chi Minh City coordinated with the Department of Transport to prioritize removing obstacles to promptly submit to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee a report to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council on key projects such as the embankment to prevent landslides on the right bank of the Saigon River (Binh Thanh District) and the bank of the Giong Ong To River (Thu Duc City).
