Serious landslides isolate Lien Huong and Tung Huong villages

(Baonghean.vn) -Due to the impact of storm No. 11, serious landslides occurred in Tam Quang commune (Tuong Duong).

In the early morning of October 20, on the inter-village road Bai Xa - Lien Huong, in Tam Quang commune (Tuong Duong), thousands of cubic meters of rock and soil collapsed onto the road, completely isolating Lien Huong and Tung Huong villages.

Landslides of thousands of cubic meters of rock and soil forced many people in Tung Huong and Lien Huong villages, Tam Quang commune (Tuong Duong) to go to other villages to borrow vehicles to go somewhere.

Mr. Lo Minh Truong, head of Tung Huong village, said: "Because my house is quite far away, I only heard a loud noise from the direction of the landslide. I only woke up this morning to see."

Mr. Truong added that previously, due to the impact of storms No. 9 and 10, this road also suffered major landslides, and it took nearly 10 days to clear the road.

This is the only route connecting the two villages of Tung Huong and Lien Huong with other villages and communes. Therefore, as long as the road is not open, more than 1,000 households of “Hai Huong” will remain isolated.

Some young people still try to drive their motorbikes through the landslide to go.

Tung Huong and Lien Huong are two poor villages in Tam Quang commune. Currently, both villages have more than 1,000 inhabitants, mainly Thai ethnic people, in addition to Tho ethnic people (Tay Poong). The people mainly work in upland rice cultivation and animal husbandry.
