After pruning, the trees were cleaned up to ensure safety for people traveling. It is expected that about 2,000 large trees will be pruned before storm No. 5. Photo: Quang An

In fact, previous storms have caused many trees to fall and be uprooted, posing a potential danger to pedestrians and vehicles. Therefore, tree trimming is necessary and must be done immediately before the storm hits. In the photo: Trees broken by storms on Phong Dinh Cang Street in 2021. Photo: QA
