JUST over a week after the sudden land slippage in Los Iros, which damaged at least 62 acres of land, the Siparia Borough Corporation has banned members of the public from venturing into the affected area.

In a press release on July 7, the corporation said it was "advising" the public about the "recent and extensive landslide" at Royal Engineer Road. It said the conditions there are hazardous owing to soil instability and the continued risk of ground movement.

"Residents, visitors and all members of the public are strongly urged to avoid the affected area until further notice. Entry into the landslide zone is strictly prohibited for your safety.
