Major Tran Danh Hoa, Deputy Chief of Muong Tip Commune Police, said officers coordinated with local authorities to clear debris along the vital transport artery, restoring traffic flow for residents.
Days of torrential downpours in Muong Tip Commune led to multiple landslides, dropping rocks and soil onto roads and posing serious safety hazards. On Friday morning of August 8, a major rockfall along Provincial Road 543D through Xop Tip Village blocked the route entirely, cutting off transit.
In response, local police, commune officials, and grassroots security forces cordoned off the hazard zone, installed warning signs, and redirected traffic to alternative routes. To expedite clearing operations, police mobilized heavy machinery from a nearby construction site 7 kilometers away.
By 1:00 p.m. the same day, the blocked section was fundamentally cleared and reopened to traffic.
However, continuous rainfall poses ongoing risks of secondary landslides along Provincial Road 543D. Local police remain stationed at vulnerable points to monitor conditions and maintain traffic safety. Authorities advise residents to stay updated on weather alerts, avoid landslide-prone zones, and strictly follow safety instructions from functional forces.
