Need to fix deadly manholes in Dien Chau

(Baonghean.vn) -Recently, in Dien Chau town, along both sides of National Highway 1A and the provincial road, there have been broken and collapsed manholes, endangering the lives of people and passengers participating in traffic.

Through investigation, along these routes there are many manhole covers missing, manholes collapsed but not covered or barricaded, so many accidents have occurred causing injuries.

This situation has been going on for a long time but no agency has come forward to fix it; and some businesses along the highway have turned these manholes into "mobile" garbage pits. In the afternoons, they blatantly gather all kinds of garbage and burn it, the smoke billowing out is offensive and unsightly.

We request that the Dien Chau district government and relevant authorities promptly intervene to fix and rectify these "deadly" manholes, and not let the situation of "waiting until the cow is gone" arise.
