    According to the reporter's records on the night of March 4 and early morning of March 5, in the upstream area of To Lich River (the first section of Hoang Quoc Viet - Buoi Street, Cau Giay District), workers of Hanoi Drainage One Member Co., Ltd. are urgently dredging the sludge on the river.

    The dredging process is supported by specialized machinery.

    Workers said that although the night shift is hard, the efficiency is higher than the morning shift because the process of dredging and transporting waste mud is not affected by vehicles.

    This is also the time when workers feel most difficult because they have to work in low light conditions. Therefore, dredging areas are equipped with generators and auxiliary lights along the riverbank to support the construction process.

    Talking to Lao Dong, Mr. Trinh Ngoc Son - Commander-in-Chief of Hanoi Drainage Company Limited - informed that as of the evening of March 4, the unit had dredged more than 5,000 - 6,000m3 of waste mud. It is expected that by the end of April 30, the unit will dredge about 50,000m3 of waste mud.
    “Don vi hien dang tap trung thuc hien nhiem vu tai khu vuc thuong luu cua song To Lich va dam bao xu ly dut diem cho den khu vuc cau Lu, boi day la noi co luong bun thai ton dong nhieu nhat”, ong Trinh Ngoc Son noi.
    "The unit is currently focusing on performing tasks in the upstream area of the To Lich River and ensuring complete treatment until the Lu Bridge area, because this is where the largest amount of waste mud is remaining," said Mr. Trinh Ngoc Son.

    The dredging of To Lich River is considered a stepping stone for the process of "reviving" To Lich River with the plan to add water to To Lich River that the Hanoi People's Committee had proposed earlier.
    Dem muon, cac cong nhan van lam viec lien tuc.
    Not only in the river, but also on the shore, workers work continuously.

    Previously, the Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee assigned the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with Hanoi Drainage One Member Co., Ltd. to immediately carry out the overall dredging of To Lich River, basically to be completed in August 2025. At the same time, the Department of Construction was assigned to preside over research and propose a plan to take water from West Lake to supplement the To Lich River if necessary to keep the water level of To Lich River through the regulating gate of West A Lake - Cong Do - Muong Thuy Khue to be completed in August 2025.
