The carp statue pair design by the Maspero River
The province-funded VND15 billion (USD646,551) project would have featured a pair of carp-dragon statues on the two shores of the Maspero River.
The work will be carried out between 2023 and 2025. Each statue would have included LED lighting and water plumes.
However, locals expressed concern about the waste of money on the construction.
In response the province has decided to stop the project to concentrate on investment in major projects related to education and social welfare development instead, Lau said.
