Rocks and soil poured down, piling up and cutting off Eo Chim Pass in Quang Ngai.

On December 5, the authorities of Thanh An commune, Minh Long district, Quang Ngai province organized forces to be on duty and put up danger warning signs to prevent people from passing through the landslide area on Eo Chim pass.

At around 7:00 a.m. the same day, at Km36+600 Provincial Road 624, through Eo Chim Pass in Thanh An Commune, thousands of cubic meters of rock and soil suddenly poured down from the mountain, piling up on the road, causing traffic disruption.

Fortunately, at the time of the landslide, there were no people in the area. Due to the large amount of soil and rock, it is expected that by the morning of December 6, the local authorities will coordinate with relevant agencies to complete the landslide to ensure smooth traffic and safety for the people.

Previously, in mid-November, heavy rain caused severe landslides on National Highway 24 through Vi O Lac Pass in Ba To District, Quang Ngai Province at Km 63+350 and Km 64+400.

Specifically, heavy rain caused a large amount of rock and soil from the hills above to suddenly slide down and fall onto the road. Notably, in the border area between Quang Ngai and Kon Tum, the road surface appeared with many large, long cracks.

To ensure traffic safety through the area, local authorities have mobilized forces to set up checkpoints near landslides and cracked roads, preventing people and vehicles from passing through.

In addition, the leaders of Ba To district have directed functional forces to coordinate with the management agency of National Highway 24 to deploy plans to overcome landslides and road surface cracks.
