Prolonged rain and floods from October 9-14 caused landslides that ate into the alluvial land in hamlet 2, Thanh Ha commune about 3m.

According to Mr. Phan Van Lan - Chairman of Thanh Ha Commune People's Committee, this is Rong beach with a total area of ​​about 35 hectares. Recently, due to many objective reasons, including illegal sand dredging which has changed the flow, along with many days of rain, the alluvial beach has been seriously eroded, eating deep into the mainland.

The highest landslide is about 5m, and the average is about 2-3m/flood. Bai Rong currently has 6 farming hamlets, mainly growing corn, beans, peanuts, vegetables... which are the main source of income for the people here.

Mr. Pham Duc Vuong in hamlet 2, Thanh Ha commune, who has nearly 1 sao of cultivated land at Rong beach, said: Currently, the landslide situation is increasingly encroaching further inland, greatly affecting the people's production land area. He hopes that the relevant authorities will soon overcome this situation so that people can worry less./.
