The above landslide occurred mosly in Hakha township.
The following landslide is near Laitui Village on the Border Trade Road No.2. I travelled on this road several times in 1993. This road is one of the most dangerous road I have ever ride the car. I was really scare. The road was built in the middle of a huge landlide. The road was uneven and very unstable. I called it "Deadly Road in the Chin State." Many parts of Laitui would be destroyed by landslide in the near future.
