Speaking to reporters, a representative of the Lao Cai Province Traffic Project Management and Maintenance Board said that immediately after the landslide occurred, the unit requested the Vietnam Expressway Services Joint Stock Company (VECS) to deploy machinery and human resources to clear rocks and soil and fix the landslide.

The amount of landslides is not large, but there is a risk of further landslides on the hillside, so it needs to be thoroughly addressed. It is expected that the road will be cleared by mid-afternoon to serve people's travel.
