Along the hundreds of meters long Hanoi - Hai Phong expressway from Gia Khanh commune (Gia Loc) to Ngoc Ky commune (Tu Ky) is flooded with black ash, the water in the ditch right next to it also turns black due to burning dry branches.
On September 10, local residents said that not long ago, the management unit of the trees (mainly acacia) along the above road had sent people to clear away the lush branches and leaves. This is necessary because it creates an open space to help people and vehicles move more conveniently and safely. If there is heavy rain or strong winds, it also limits the branches from falling onto the road, causing traffic obstruction.
However, a large amount of branches and leaves after being pruned were not collected and processed properly but were piled up in long rows right next to the road and burned, causing environmental pollution.
The above action also caused some eucalyptus and acacia trees along the road to be scorched.
