The district will arrange VND1.20 trillion for the project, while the remainder will be sourced from the city’s budget.
Tay Ho District has carried out four dredging projects costing VND128 billion since 2011. Roughly 440,000 cubic metres of mud have been dredged. However, the package to dredge the lake section running next to Thanh Nien Street was suspended to review its effectiveness following massive fish deaths.
According to a consultant, around 1.2 million cubic metres of mud need to be dredged.
