However, to effectively promote anti-flooding projects, the city needs to continue to focus on investing in handling urban infrastructure items that are bottlenecks causing congestion and flooding such as the drainage to Vinh Tan Pumping Station, drainage ditches along Ho Tong Thoc Street and Le Nin Avenue, near the Provincial General Hospital of Friendship.../.
