Requesting authorities to tighten the management of goods quality and strictly handle cases of food destruction in the wrong place, causing risk of environmental pollution and affecting public health" - a local resident said.

Because this location is deserted and has few people passing by, it is very difficult to determine the subject of the discard. However, we are continuing to verify and investigate to handle it in accordance with the provisions of the law".
