MBALE, eastern Uganda, April 19 (Xinhua) -- Another landslide has hit the eastern Ugandan district of Bududa, destroying crops but with no casualties so far reported, a district official said on Monday.

Wilson Watira, the district chairperson told Xinhua by telephone that the landslide occurred in Bunamutiti parish in Busika Sub County on Sunday.

"There was no life that was killed since the incident occurred only in farmlands where people are not living in," he said.

"We as the district officials are in a meeting trying to estimate the worth of the destruction, but it's over millions of shillings, because it involved crops like coffee, bananas and other several food crops," he said.

He said few houses were flooded with water but no people were killed or injured since most of them had gone to attend Sunday prayers.

This incident occurs in less than two months after a landslide swept away three villages in the same district killing over 300 people and leaving tens of thousands others homeless.

Environmental specialists warn that over 35,000 people in the area located on the slopes of Mountain Elgon are at risk.

"Over 35,000 people in eastern Uganda are seated on a time bomb that is only waiting to burst," Goretti Kitutu, the environmental systems specialists at the National Environmental Management Authority, told Xinhua by telephone on Monday.

She said a 45 km fresh crack along the mountain exposes a serious danger to the local residents who reside in the area.
