Landslides threaten Hanoi’s riverside residential areasVietNamNet Bridge – The threat of landslides, particularly during the rainy and stormy seasons has concerned residents who live along the west bank of the Hong (Red) River in Ha Noi. Riverside residential areas in Ha Noi are also facing at risk from landslides. Last month, following storm Dianmu, landslides also struck other sections of the Hong River’s west bank, affecting hundreds of families. The river’s west bank sloped and was yet to be embanked, so it was vulnerable to landslides, Trung said. The project is expected to curb landslides in riverside residential areas.
