(HBO) – Following the last October floods, many households in Doan Nhan commune (Tan Lac district) are planning to move to other places for fear of landslides. However, to date, most of them have yet to be relocated, while the rainy season is approaching.
In Ta hamlet, locals have erected stilt houses on the hillside.
When it rains, the water flows directly into their houses. The construction process
is also a problem, as villagers dig earth to make a slope base for their
houses, making landslides almost unavoidable. "When heavy rains fall, soil is
washed into my house, damaging my buffalo shed. We feel nervous whenever it
rains. My family is among the 16 household of Ta villages suffering high risk
of landslides as listed by the People’s Committee,” said Bui Thi Tinh.
Despite
their building of a 100-cubic-meter rock embankment for their house, Bui Van
Xuan's family in Do Nhan commune’s Trang village has yet to feel secured, as
land subsidence remains.
Xuan’s house in Trang hamlet is also severely affected. The one-storey
house was built in a rather high position above the slope of the village’s
inner road. Cracks on the house’s floor were caused by subsidence and
landslides due to floods last year.
Xuan said: "My family wants to relocate but we do not know
where to move. To prevent landslides, we built an embankment from nearly 100
cubic meters of rock but the situation remains unstable. The rainy season is
coming and we are very worried.”
Trang hamlet is home to 87 households, divided into four sub-hamlets.
Due to the local mountainous geographical conditions, all the four sub-hamlets
are exposed risk of landslides in the rainy season.
According to a survey, 58 households of the hamlet must relocate.
We visited the family of Dinh Thi Tim, whose house is located at the end of the
village. Ten years ago, Tim and her husband built their house on the foot of a
mountain. Behind their stilt home are large upright cliff.
