Leaders of Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi have admitted some shortcomings in its massive tree felling in April-May, however, they still insist that the project is much needed.
Speaking at a meeting of the city’s People’s Council Tuesday [July 7], Vice Chairman Vu Hong Khanh of the People’s Committee said the city had not supply suitable information about the project to local residents, causing misunderstanding among citizens.
The city’s leadership strictly reviewed the shortcomings and determined responsibilities of state agencies and individuals in the case, Mr. Khanh said,
In coming months, the city will review and evaluate those trees which needed replacing gradually to ensure green coverage to the city, he noted.
In March-April, Hanoi city’s People’s Committee allowed the Department of Construction to carry out the massive tree-chopping project which aims to fell 6,700 aged trees in some main streets.
After cutting around 2,000 aged trees, mostly healthy and planted by French over one hundred years ago, the project was suspended due to strong protest from local activists who rallied in the city’s center for weeks.
Without reviewing the project, Hanoi’s authorities sent security forces to suppress demonstration and detained dozens of activists, mostly women, and harassed many others. At least two Hanoi-based activists Nguyen Chi Tuyen and Trinh Anh Tuan have been brutally attacked by thugs.
Hanoi has been criticized for replacing aged trees with new kinds of trees that are unsuitable for city’s environment. Recently, the city plans to grow new trees to replace those newly-planted ones which couldn’t grow in some streets, including Nguyen Chi Thanh, one of the best street in the capital city.
Responding to the public anger, Hanoi decided to discipline some low-ranking cadres of the Department of Construction./.
