 >>  Ha Long city golf course mudslide submerges local households
Many households in the northern province of Quang Ninh’s Ha Long city had to be evacuated due to an under-construction golf course.

Recent heavy rains caused tonnes of mud and soil from a hill where FLC Group's golf course is being built to flow into many houses in Hong Hai District on July 11.

Local authorities requested FLC Group to quickly deal with the problem.

On the same day, four affected households and several others that were potentially threatened were moved out of their houses.

Over the past two years since when the golf course project was implemented, the lives of nearly 100 nearby households have been seriously affected by the mud overflowing.

Earlier in May this year, Ha Long City authorities ordered FLC Group and the municipal land fund development centre to arrange resettlement houses for the 15 most vulnerable households.

The 18-hole golf course is part of a FLC Group’s tourism complex project in Ha Long City. The project is behind schedule and the investor has been criticised for a lack of care.
