- At around 9:00 a.m. on May 29, in Tan Tien village, Tan Thanh commune (Son Duong), a large sinkhole suddenly appeared, causing panic and anxiety among the people.

According to records, the hole is more than 2m wide and about 6m deep, appearing right next to a residential area and close to National Highway 2C.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Toan, Tan Tien village, Tan Thanh commune shared that the sinkhole is located right near the area where his family is building a house. When the hole was discovered, it was only about 40cm wide, then it gradually sank deeper and spread towards National Highway 2C. He and the people living around the area are very confused and worried about the above phenomenon. He hopes that the government and relevant agencies will soon find the cause and take measures to overcome the above situation.

The sinkhole is widening towards the highway.

Mr. Phung Ngoc Vinh, Chairman of Tan Thanh Commune People's Committee, said that after discovering the incident, the local authorities cordoned off the scene and warned people not to approach the dangerous area. At the same time, the incident was reported to higher authorities to investigate the cause and take remedial measures.

According to the initial assessment of the authorities, the sinkhole phenomenon may be due to complex geological factors in the area, especially underground water erosion or activities that break down the underlying soil and rock structure after a long period of rain. In addition, uncontrolled well drilling and groundwater exploitation activities are also believed to be factors that may contribute to geological instability.
