The subsidence in Chau Hong commune began to occur in early 2021. At the same time, hundreds of wells in the commune also dried up, causing people to suffer from a lack of water for daily use. After the continuous subsidence, a series of working groups from Quy Hop district as well as departments and branches came to inspect, but a year has passed and there is still no conclusion about the cause.
Chau Hong Commune is one of the communes with the most mines in the mineral capital of Quy Hop. Here, there are a series of stone and tin mines that have been exploited day and night for decades./.
