| According to the leader of Nghe An Irrigation Department, some organizations and individuals on both sides of the river canal built works but could not handle them because the local authorities previously lacked information about the canal protection corridor, so they granted land for use close to the canal wall. Localities need to strengthen management work, resolutely and strictly handle violations that affect the safety and stability of irrigation works. In the photo: Nam Dan sluice. Photo by Tung Chi |
