These mounds are located behind Ho Chi Minh Square, on the lawns below the Central Park lake perimeter. Some mounds are as high as low hills, causing unsightliness and leading to siltation of the lake bed during heavy rains.
According to an officer of Vinh City Urban Inspectorate, this situation has existed since around June 2019. At that time, when conducting an inspection, Trung Long Joint Stock Company reported that during the construction process, some works in the campus had dug up the soil and temporarily moved to this location. Therefore, the City Urban Inspectorate only reminded and requested Trung Long Joint Stock Company to move the waste soil soon.

As the people have reported, the existence of the waste soil will cause the Central Park Lake to be silted up when there is heavy rain…”.
