Grass and trees cover the North Canal in Vinh City
(Baonghean.vn) - The project to upgrade and renovate the North Canal under the Vinh Urban Development Sub-project has been put into use for nearly 2 years. However, the canal bed and both sides of the embankment are now covered with grass and trees, posing a risk of blocking the flow, especially during the upcoming rainy and stormy season. This also affects the quality of the project.

Not only the canal bed, but also the steps are used by people to grow vegetables in boxes. The North Canal is a part of the Vinh Urban Sub-project, which has the function of draining water for the city. If the above situation continues, it will cause sedimentation, blockage of the flow during the rainy season and will be difficult to handle later. Photo: Lam Tung |
