Cracks appeared on the hilltop, plan to relocate the whole village of more than 100 households

On the evening of September 14, speaking with VietNamNet , the leader of the People's Committee of Bac Yen district confirmed that there is a risk of landslides in Song Pe commune, and the locality is currently mobilizing people to evacuate to a safe place.

Accordingly, due to the impact of storm No. 3, there were many rains in the district, along with unstable geology, so in Ngam village, Song Pe commune, a crack appeared at the top of the hill, about 200-300 meters from the village.

Authorities are urgently evacuating people to safety.

Faced with that situation, Bac Yen district mobilized police and military forces to coordinate with local authorities to propagate and encourage people to evacuate to safe places.

It is known that the plan is to relocate the entire village and temporarily arrange for people to move to the resettlement area in Chieng Sai commune while waiting for the construction of another resettlement area.

Ban Ngam has 108 households with more than 500 people. Up to now, 50 households have agreed to relocate. The government continues to mobilize the remaining households.

Also in Son La , previously, in Muong La district, authorities evacuated 14 households at high risk of landslides in Na Tra village, Pi Tong commune.

Specifically, in 2 days (September 12 and 13), the Military Command of Muong La district sent 15 officers, soldiers, 10 militiamen, coordinated with Muong La Electricity, and functional agencies to ensure essential needs and set up 11 tents to evacuate 14 households to a safe location about 1km from their old residence.
