SOS Huong Nam member collects nails and metal pieces
As travellers from HCM City use the National Highway 1 to return to their hometown in the Mekong Delta, their vehicles continually had the tyres punctured as they crossed Binh Dien Bridge on January 22. All of them were damaged by nails.
On the previous day, the volunteer group SOS Huong Nam and many locals patrolled the highway in Binh Tan District and District 12 and collected a large number of nails and metal pieces. The nails were littered along the highway to travellers would be forced to go to the nearest repair shops and overcharged for the services.
Most good repair shops have already closed for Tet.
