Following Storm Yagi, 550 locations in Yen Bai City in the province experienced landslides, impacting 3,000 households and numerous schools and agencies. Many residents have yet to return to their homes due to the ongoing threat of further landslides.
Over a month after Storm Yagi, landslide sites in Yen Bai have remained chaotic, looking like large construction sites. Residents here have to cope with dust daily. They are worried about traffic safety while dealing with the consequences of the landslides, which are still ongoing, focusing on reducing slopes and reinforcing hillsides to restore housing and prevent further landslides.
These days, equipment and vehicles are easily seen working in landslide-hit areas throughout the city, contributing to dust pollution. Additionally, many trucks transporting soil are overspeeding, leading to traffic accidents.
Earlier, Yen Bai City authorities issued directives and guidelines for residents and construction units to remove levelling and debris in landslide-affected locations.
Vehicles must adhere to designated time frames to avoid peak hours. Drivers who spill dirt or transport oversized or overloaded loads will be punished.
