Many trees in HCM City have been pruned following incidents which left people dead and injured.

 

 

Several trees on Le Quy Don Street in District 3 have been cut down, while many others have been trimmed. However, many trees have been pruned so excessively that they are left bare.

 


Nguyen Van Thai from District 3 said trimming trees in the rainy season, particularly after recent accidents, was necessary. But he hoped trees should be pruned suitably instead of leaving them bare.



A tree on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street in District 3 was cut down due to its rotting trunk.



New trees have replaced those cut down.

Over the past month, HCM City faced many tree-related accidents.

On August 9, an old tree branch in Tao Dan Park in District 1 unexpectedly broke and fell on five people exercising, leaving two dead and three injured.

On September 4, a tree suddenly fell on An Duong Vuong Street in District 5 during a rainstorm, killing one woman.
