Mr. Ha Huy Dat, Chairman of the People's Committee of Chon Thanh town, Binh Phuoc province, said that the town's functional agencies are actively coordinating to clarify the cause of the incident where the spring water in Minh Long ward suddenly turned red.

Specifically, the Town People's Committee reported the incident to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the Binh Phuoc Provincial Police. Immediately after receiving the information, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment took water samples from the stream area for analysis to clarify the cause of the pollution. At the same time, the Provincial Police are also urgently investigating and clarifying the incident according to the provisions of law.

At noon on December 3, people discovered that the water at Suoi Mot, in group 1, neighborhood 4, Minh Long ward, was unusually dyed red.

Many images and videos recording this strange phenomenon were quickly shared on social networks, attracting the attention of the community. Although there was no strange smell, the entire stream turned an unusual red color, causing concern for local people.

Many people suspect that there may be a company or manufacturing facility that has discharged industrial waste into the environment, causing serious water pollution.

Local people are worried that this pollution will affect their health and daily life. They hope that the authorities will soon investigate, clarify the cause and take strict measures against violators, ensuring safety for the community.
