Mr. Vo Quang Hong, one of 10 households living in the landslide area, said: "The landslide site has been leveled and lowered, so it is less dangerous. However, we are still very worried because this rainy and stormy season, the weather is complicated, landslides continue, threatening the lives and property of 10 households.

What we most expect now is that all levels and sectors will soon have a plan to completely handle the landslide situation, specifically the riverbank embankment section through village 1.

According to forecasts, in the coming days, due to the impact of storm No. 4 , Nghe An will have moderate to heavy rain, with the risk of landslides recurring. Therefore, Anh Son district, Lang Son commune People's Committee and the command of village 1, Lang Son commune have made plans to proactively evacuate people to protect the property and lives of families when there is a risk of landslides continuing.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Thien - Chairman of Lang Son Commune People's Committee said: "Currently, in Lang Son commune, there are two serious landslides: Cay Chanh area, village 1 and Provincial Road 534, passing through the parish church. The river water has eroded deep into the road.

In the coming time, if there is heavy rain and floods, the risk of riverbank erosion and "road closure" is very high, affecting people's safety. This issue has been reflected by voters through meetings and voter contacts. Therefore, we hope that authorities at all levels will pay attention and have a plan to handle it thoroughly."
