In the coming days, the People’s Committee of Soc Son district will also coordinate with the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment to inspect and evaluate the impact of the incident on the surrounding environment and come up with a long-term solution.
The area affected by the incident is the roads inside the waste treatment area, where garbage trucks move in to collect garbage (Photo: MXH).
Nam Son landfill was built in 1999, is 157 hectares wide, and is responsible for treating waste from 12 inner city districts and 5 suburban districts of Hanoi. This is the largest waste treatment area in the city. After more than 20 years of operation, the landfill cells are overloaded.
On April 24, at a meeting with voters in Soc Son district, answering about the regime for people living around the Nam Son waste treatment area, Director of Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment Le Thanh Nam affirmed the success of the project. The city always applies mechanisms to ensure maximum benefits for people, including mechanisms for medical examination and treatment, support…
Regarding the treatment of environmental pollution, Mr. Nam emphasized that the fundamental solution is to soon put waste incineration plants into operation. After processing the landfill by burning, this area will become a park.
The city hopes that in the future, after this plan comes true, the area will be a new check-in point for young people, as well as promote environmental treatment technology.
