Mr. Hoa's slope was discovered after the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee requested localities to inspect construction works on steep slopes with a risk of landslides, following a landslide that killed two people in Da Lat City on June 29.

Regarding the above-mentioned illegal construction, Mr. Tran Van Hieu, Chairman of Loc Son Ward People's Committee, was temporarily suspended from work for 15 days by Bao Loc City People's Committee due to lack of responsibility in managing construction order.
