Tay Ninh declares emergency situation of landslide on Can Duoc river bank

The People's Committee of Tay Ninh province has just issued a decision declaring an emergency situation of landslides on the banks of the Can Duoc River, passing through Hamlet 3 - Xom Tre, Tan Lan Commune. The issuance of the decision aims to proactively respond and protect the lives and property of people in the area.

According to a report by the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Tay Ninh, the landslide at the junction of Can Duoc River - Muong Quynh River has been occurring since 2024, with a total landslide length of about 70m, going about 10m inland, and a landslide depth of up to 4m compared to the original status.

The landslide completely swept away the temporary house and caused cracks and subsidence of the ground, seriously threatening the main house of a household. It is currently directly affecting 4 households with 16 people, including 2 policy households. The cause of the landslide was determined to be the impact of the flow, high tides, combined with weak ground and strong currents, causing the soil under the canal to be eroded and washed away, creating deep holes, open mouths, and steep slopes near the shore. There is currently a tendency for more landslides.

Faced with the above developments, Chairman of Tay Ninh Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Van Ut requested the Department of Agriculture and Environment and Tan Lan Commune People's Committee to urgently evacuate people and property from the dangerous area; put up warning signs, cordon off the area to prevent people and vehicles from entering the landslide area, and arrange staff to closely monitor the landslide developments.

At the same time, implement initial solutions to limit landslides; organize the development of urgent treatment plans, approve plans and mobilize forces and materials for urgent treatment according to the provisions of law to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the state. Mobilize all resources to urgently handle incidents of natural disaster prevention and control works and construction works incidents caused by natural disasters.

Previously, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Tay Ninh province also issued a decision to declare an emergency situation of landslides on the banks of the Han Canal (Xom Cau Intersection, Can Giuoc Commune, Tay Ninh Province). This area has also experienced landslides for many years now, each year the landslides encroach 1-2 meters into the bank, and have now encroached about 30 meters into the bank; the landslides caused 10 houses to collapse into the river; many crops, structures and hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of soil were swept away by the water.

Currently, the landslide area has a total length of about 300 m, directly affecting 10 households with 40 people living there; of which, 4 houses of people living close to the riverbank are in a state of cracked walls and landslides. Although the local government and people have repeatedly reinforced the landslide with coconut piles, the landslide continues to occur and is becoming more and more serious. If not handled promptly, the landslide will become more serious in the coming time, especially during the rainy season combined with high tides, which will threaten the safety of life and property of people living in the above area.
