Immediately after the incident, the authorities promptly deployed safety measures, dispatched a working group of 3 officers to coordinate with local authorities to set up barriers at the foot of the pass, strictly prohibiting people and vehicles from moving through the dangerous area, and at the same time monitoring geological developments to have a plan for further handling.
Landslide of a household's house in A Bung commune, Dakrong district
Previously, at around 6:00 p.m. on June 12, in Cu Tai 2 village, A Bung commune, Dakrong district, a landslide occurred at the house of Mr. Vo Van Cuong (born in 1973). Prolonged heavy rain combined with rising river water completely collapsed the wall behind the house, swept away a car, and threatened the safety of a truck parked near the landslide area. Fortunately, the vehicle was promptly rescued by authorities, causing no human casualties.
According to the La Lay International Border Post, the initial cause was determined to be the newly built house being close to the stream, and the embankment was not yet safe when encountering large water flows. Property damage was estimated at around 500 million VND.
That very night, La Lay Border Guard Station mobilized 10 officers and soldiers to coordinate with local forces to support the movement of assets and belongings in Mr. Cuong's house to a safe place, and at the same time organized a review of households living near the risky area to coordinate with local authorities to mobilize evacuation, ensuring the safety of people's lives and property.
Currently, authorities are continuing to monitor the weather situation, deploy measures to prevent landslides, and proactively respond, not being surprised by the unusual developments of floods and rains.
