On September 15, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of the People's Committee of Hoang Thanh Commune (Thanh Hoa Province) said that the locality had discussed with relevant units and proposed a solution to deal with the giant arms that were tilted after the recent storm No. 5.
"We have discussed with the Hoang Hoa Construction Investment Project Management Board (the project investor), thereby agreeing on a liquidation plan and reporting to the province to seek direction" - a representative of the People's Committee of Hoang Thanh commune informed.
According to the representative of Hoang Thanh commune, choosing the option of liquidation and demolition is because if it is repaired, it will cost money, and after a short time, the project may be tilted and collapsed again.
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, in March 2023, on Hai Tien beach (old Hang Hoa, Thanh Hoa), 5 giant arms appeared, each arms nearly 5m high (from the nail base to the finger), located a few hundred meters apart.
At the time of construction, many people expressed their disagreement because the project occupied the beach area and was potentially dangerous for tourists when swimming, and could be hit by waves against the concrete pillar in the middle of the beach.
According to the old Hoang Hoa People's Committee, the 5 branches of the project to renovate and upgrade the coastal road through Hoang Tien and Hoang Thanh, with a total cost of more than 10 billion VND. The 5-manpower item alone cost about 300 million VND from the district budget. The project is expected to be a watchtowers for rescue workers to observe and handle when bad situations occur.
However, after more than 2 years of use, the staircase system and the roof on the hand has been removed. In particular, the recent storm No. 5 caused 4/5 of the arms to be tilted, at risk of collapsing.
