Hanoi launches a series of infrastructure projects

Work on a number of the city’s infrastructure projects will start between May 28 and July to be ready in time for the capitals millennium anniversary, reported the Hanoi municipal People’s Committee.

They include projects to bury the city’s overhead power and telephone lines underground, give Thong Nhat (Unification Park) a facelift, upgrade Hanoi Zoo and plant several flower gardens around the city.

The municipal administration has also asked all grassroots authorities to speed up their efforts to protect the environment by placing rubbish bins on either side of the main streets and build a series of public toilets around the city.

The Municipal Transport Service has been instructed to work with the police and other agencies to step up the supervision of vehicles carrying debris, sand or other construction materials that litter the streets and fine the offenders.
