Pho Day river embankment landslide

The phenomenon of cracks and landslides on the embankment of Pho Day River through Lap Thach district has appeared for 5 days now, showing signs of widening, threatening to collapse a temple.

On the afternoon of July 2, the Management Board of Investment and Construction Projects for Agricultural Works and Rural Development of Vinh Phuc Province said that cracks appeared on the right bank of Pho Day River, through Son Dong Commune, Lap Thach District, on June 28, then widened from the riverbank to Mau Temple.

Mr. Tran Van Tuan, Chairman of Son Dong Commune, said the landslide was only about 20 meters from the nearest residential area. The entire yard and kitchen foundation of Mau Temple were destroyed, covering an area of about 250 square meters. "There is no need to evacuate people yet. We are monitoring and coordinating with relevant departments to come up with timely solutions," Mr. Tuan added.

The landslide area is part of an emergency construction project of Vinh Phuc province with a budget of nearly 20 billion VND. The project includes two main items: landslide treatment in the Mau temple area and landslide treatment at Phu Binh II pumping station with a total length of about 350 m.
