Handling eucalyptus trees that pose a danger to road users

(Baonghean) - Nghe An Newspaper on December 3, 2014, under the section "Hotline Information", reported the content of the reflection of Nghi Yen commune residents: "The row of eucalyptus trees along National Highway 1A, the section passing through Cua Mo hamlet, Nghi Yen commune, is severely eroded, at risk of breaking and falling, causing danger to people and vehicles when participating in traffic. We request that the competent authorities check and promptly take remedial measures."

After receiving feedback from Nghe An Newspaper, Nghi Loc District People's Committee issued Official Letter No. 1227/UBND-VHTT dated December 5, 2014 requesting the Head of the District Industry and Trade Department, Chairman of Nghi Yen Commune People's Committee and relevant departments to urgently organize inspections and clarify the contents of the issues raised by Nghe An Newspaper for timely handling. After organizing inspections and directing the resolution, on December 16, 2014, Nghi Loc District People's Committee issued Official Letter No. 1265/UBND-VHNT reporting the specific results as follows:

As reported by the people in Nghe An newspaper: The eucalyptus trees along National Highway 1A, the section passing through Cua Mo hamlet, Nghi Yen commune, are severely eroded, at risk of breaking and falling, posing a danger to people and vehicles passing through. Through inspection, it was found that the number of eucalyptus trees previously planted by households in Cua Mo hamlet is outside the compensation scope of the National Highway 1A Upgrade Project passing through Nghi Yen commune. The District Industry and Trade Department has worked with the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Nghi Yen Commune People's Committee, agreeing on a handling plan: Mobilize households with trees to voluntarily harvest; if households do not volunteer, the Commune People's Committee must organize forces to cut down trees before December 30, 2014 (about 10 trees) to clear the traffic safety corridor and continue to inform people that they are not allowed to plant new trees with a height of 3m or more on both sides of the clean corridor of National Highway 1A.
