Every time you move one place, you steal another
People have reported that these days, the area around the foot of Kenh T6 bridge (Km11+682 Thang Long Boulevard service road) has seen a large amount of household waste, rotten vegetables and fruits giving off a foul smell.
According to the actual records of the reporter at the scene, the garbage piled up, stretched for a section and spilled down the canal.
According to local people, garbage has been illegally dumped in this area for a long time, and the authorities have collected and leveled it many times. However, it was not long before it recurred.
On the afternoon of April 23, speaking with reporters, the leader of the People's Committee of Song Phuong commune (Hoai Duc, Hanoi) said that the unit will send officers down to inspect and verify.
About 100m from the Kenh T6 bridge, the "garbage mountain" that Lao Dong newspaper previously reported has been cleaned up by the functional unit of Song Phuong Commune People's Committee, in coordination with relevant agencies.
However, only about 20m from this point, a new pile of garbage continues to appear.
"They all dump at noon or late at night, so it is difficult to know who dumped them," a resident of Song Phuong commune shared.
In fact, along the Thang Long Boulevard service road, there are many illegal dumping spots. The authorities continuously clean up. However, the above situation continues to recur, moving from one place to another. There is currently no plan to completely handle this situation.
