Severe environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and difficulties for children attending school are what the people here have to endure. The cause has been identified as the road construction project progressing at a snail's pace and the irresponsible attitude of the local authorities.

According to local residents, a road repair project was planned six months ago. However, for some reason, they only brought in red mud to fill the road and then abandoned it. For more than five months, residents have had great difficulty traveling and are almost completely isolated from the outside world. When we met them, the residents couldn't hide their frustration, wondering when the people of Tien Ky commune would finally be free from this red mud problem. The people of Tien Ky desperately need timely assistance and guidance from all levels and sectors of government.
