Handling garbage trucks discharging wastewater causing stench in Ho Chi Minh City

ĐÌNH TRỌNG |

Ho Chi Minh City - Phu An Ward People's Committee is coordinating with agencies to handle garbage trucks discharging wastewater onto the road.

On February 1st, a video of a garbage truck discharging wastewater onto the road was spread online. The video, about 20 seconds long, recorded the scene of a garbage truck running on an alley. During the truck's operation, wastewater from the truck's exhaust pipe flowed down the road, causing a foul odor.

People believe that the driver did not check and forgot to lock the discharge valve. This act may cause environmental pollution, while this is an environmental protection vehicle.

Talking to reporters, the leader of Phu An Ward People's Committee confirmed that the incident happened on DX-085 street, Hiep An 3 neighborhood, Phu An ward.

Immediately after receiving information reflected by people about the incident, Phu An ward leaders directed functional departments to quickly inspect and handle it.

The Ward People's Committee has mobilized tanker trucks to spray and wash the entire road where the incident occurred to ensure environmental sanitation.

In addition, the ward also coordinated with the Northwest Traffic Police Station (Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police) to search for the car. The vehicle that caused the incident has been identified and the driver is being invited to work. The Ward People's Committee also invited the urban company, which is the management company of the garbage truck, to work.

Leaders of Phu An Ward People's Committee said that they are coordinating with agencies to strictly handle the incident, prevent it from recurring, and ensure a clean and beautiful environment for people to celebrate Tet.
