City waste alarms lawmakers
HCM City has advanced to this month an extraordinary meeting to discuss waste treatment and environmental pollution after National Assembly deputies from the city expressed concern over the issues, a leader said. Nguyễn Thị Quyết Tâm, chairwoman of the People’s Council, said the meeting on urban environment and waste management was initially planned to be held at the end of this year. According to the People’s Council, the city generates 7,500 tonnes of waste a day, which are sent to Đa Phước Waste Treatment complex in Bình Chánh District for treatment.
