Regarding the landslide, the railway industry plans to use 1,000 - 1,200 ^{m3 of} rubble, contained in baskets, to move from both ends of the landslide area to the scene. However, due to the complex terrain of the landslide area, far from residential areas and near the Ngan Sau River, the recovery will face many difficulties.

Previously, as reported, at 2:00 a.m. on October 30, due to the impact of heavy rain, at Km 354+900 - Km 355+750 on the North-South railway line in the Hoa Duyet - Yen Due section, through Lien Chau village, Duc Lien commune, Vu Quang district, a serious landslide occurred.

The landslide caused hundreds of cubic meters of soil and rock on the railway track, about 50 meters long, to slide down, creating a frog-like mouth several meters wide. In some other locations, trees from the mountain slid down, flooding the railway track, forcing trains passing through there to stop and wait.
