On the afternoon of June 29, the Provincial People's Committee suspended Mr. Nguyen Duong Trung Huu, Head of the Da Lat Urban Management Department. This is to clarify the responsibilities of the head of the department and related groups and individuals in granting construction permits and inspecting and supervising construction in the area where the incident occurred.

In addition, all constructions in landslide areas, with steep slopes... need to stop construction to review, evaluate, and monitor safety. The Department of Construction is assigned to inspect, evaluate licensing, design documents, construction structures in landslide areas, and supervise construction. In the incident that just occurred, the provincial government directed the investigation of the case, and if there are signs of criminality, prosecution will be initiated.

The above move was made by the Provincial People's Committee after landslides occurred continuously in the area, especially in Da Lat, causing loss of life and property. Specifically, this morning, the embankment on Hoang Hoa Tham Street, Ward 10 (Da Lat) collapsed for more than 50 meters, causing damage and burying three 3-4 story houses, camps, and two deaths.
