Dong Thap seeks solutions to address landslides along the Thuong Thoi Tien embankment.

On August 13th, the People's Committee of Thuong Phuoc commune (Dong Thap province) announced that it is coordinating with relevant agencies to urgently address the landslide at the Thuong Thoi Tien embankment, which has disrupted traffic on the Ngo Quyen embankment road (from Gia Bao Company to the Muong Mieu river ferry terminal).

Authorities are currently working to repair the landslide at the Thuong Thoi Tien embankment.

For the time being, the authorities are temporarily reinforcing the area with sandbags, while coordinating with the Southern Institute of Water Resources Science to survey and propose a long-term solution.

Mr. Le Hung Cuong, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Thuong Phuoc commune, said that due to the ongoing flood season, the water level of the Tien River is rising and the current is strong, thus increasing the risk of landslides. The authorities have strictly prohibited water and land vehicles from approaching the area until further notice.

Approximately 55 meters of the embankment have collapsed, with the base eroded and creating numerous "cavities."
