Ha Long golf course mudslide submerges local householdsAuthorities of the northern city of Ha Long have suspended a golf course project which has resulted in a mud overflowing into local houses after heavy rain on Wednesday. Local residents complained that this was the third such incident happened during the golf course's construction over the past month. Earlier, Chairman of Quang Ninh Province People's Committee Nguyen Duc Long said that the golf course area is the most vulnerable to being affected by landslides during the rainy season. FLC Group started construction on the 224-ha golf course in March this year and the first phase of the work is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Once these landslide and drainage measures are approved by local authorities, the firm could be allowed to continue the project.
