Landslides destroyed roads and briges in various parts of the Chin State. Seven bridges were destroyed in Mindat township. Landslide destroyed the main roads such as Hakha-Gangaw Highway and Hakha-Kalay Highway that completely cut off access to Hakha City.

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.
