Saline water leaks put crops at risk

BAC LIEU – Saline water, leaking into paddy fields from adjacent sand pipes, has put 200ha of rice and other crops in Cai Gia hamlet at risk of destruction, according to Hung Hoi Commune chairman Huynh Van Quang.

The sand pipes were laid in service of the 66ha Hoang Phat housing project, operated by the Hoang Phat Construction Investment Company.

Although local residents and authorities had voiced their concerns, little to no heed had been paid. — VNS
