Mr. Nguyen Xuan Yen, Head of the Con Cuong Road Management Unit, said: "The landslide at Cho Slope occurred on November 21st, affecting approximately over 40 meters."³Rocks rolled down from the mountain onto the road. Immediately after the landslide, the unit carried out temporary clearing to ensure the road was open. The amount of rocks that slid down partially buried the road, and we will continue to address the issue on November 22nd."

In the long term, the traffic management unit is submitting proposals to higher authorities to find effective solutions to prevent landslides, as landslides frequently occur in this area during the rainy season.
