Mayaen, who is also the chair of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC), requested the MGB-CAR to do an inspection following the report of the Khefa-Pawek Parents Movement Organization that mountain rocks roll down the village and residents have seen cracks on the surface of the mountain.
