Urgently handle the landslide incident on the river bank and beach in the left dike area of Cau, Hop Thinh commune.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, in recent times, heavy rains in the province have led to rapidly saturated and waterlogged soil, reducing soil cohesion, leading to instability of river banks and beaches, causing a high risk of landslides and erosion at river banks. Through inspection, it was discovered that the area K8+100 - K8+500 of the left dike of Cau River continued to experience landslides on the left dike of Cau River in Bao Tan village, Hop Thinh commune with a total landslide area length of about 400m (the landslides are connected continuously, eating into the river bank from 4-5.5m).
