On August 23, Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan continued to direct the handling of household waste and construction soap flooding along the road along Dinh River (Quy Nhon Dong Ward).
Accordingly, Mr. Tuan assigned the Department of Construction to direct the Quy Nhon Public Service Management Board to coordinate with the locality to organize the collection of all the amount of soap and construction waste to ensure environmental sanitation and urban aesthetics. The cleanup must be completed, the current status of the site must be handed over to the locality, and the results must be reported to the Provincial People's Committee in September 2025.
Quy Nhon Dong ward strengthens its responsibility in managing environmental sanitation in public areas, preventing the recurrence of illegal dumping of garbage and construction waste. Regularly clean up and promote propaganda to raise people's awareness of environmental protection.
The Chairman of Gia Lai province also directed communes and wards in the province to reorganize garbage collection points in accordance with reality, ensuring regular collection, not leaving garbage behind to cause pollution. Install warning signs and surveillance cameras in locations prone to theft.
Propose planning for rice handling locations for landfill; guide construction works to dump waste in the right places; strengthen inspection, supervision and strictly handle violations to have enough deterrence.
As Lao Dong previously reported (September 17), the road along Dinh River is always flooded with household waste and construction soap. The environment in this area is seriously polluted, the landscape is shabby, affecting people's lives.
Mr. Tran Viet Quang - Chairman of Quy Nhon Dong Ward People's Committee - said that illegal dumping has been happening everywhere recently, especially before and after the merger of administrative boundaries. Due to the large area and small forces, many people take advantage of the dark to secretly dump garbage and then leave it very quickly, making it difficult for inspection and handling.
On July 22, the Chairman of Gia Lai province assigned the Department of Agriculture and Environment to coordinate with Quy Nhon Dong ward to completely handle the illegal dumping of garbage along the Dinh river, reporting before August 15. However, up to now, waste in this area has not been collected and thoroughly treated.
