Along Le Lai Street, the section passing through Dong Son Ward, there are many uncovered manholes. This is one of the main streets of Thanh Hoa City, so the density of vehicles and people participating in traffic is very high every day. The uncovered manholes invisibly become "traps" that pose a danger to people at any time.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Quy - a resident of Dong Son ward said: The situation of manholes without covers or missing covers has been going on for many years but no unit has fixed it. In particular, there are many schools along the route so parents are very worried about their children when they go to school or after school. "At neighborhood meetings and voter meetings, we have repeatedly requested the city's authorities to take measures to fix the problem soon, but so far there has been no response" - Mr. Quy said indignantly.
It is known that the situation of manholes and drains without covers or covers not only exists on Le Lai Street but is also a reality in some residential planning areas in Thanh Hoa City.
At site 6275, Nam Ngan ward, although people have lived there for 5 or 6 years, dozens of manholes and drainage pipes have not been completed by the investor. Right on the main axis of the site, dozens of large manholes without covers are blocking the middle of the road. To warn of danger and limit unfortunate accidents for people and vehicles when participating in traffic, some households have proactively used tree branches and wooden boards to cover the mouths of the holes. However, at night or during heavy rain, strong winds limit visibility, observation ability or when children are playing around this area, they can easily "fall into the trap" and fall into the holes, endangering their lives. In the urban area of Nui Long, Thanh Hoa city, there are currently dozens of manholes without covers scattered right in the middle of the road or on the roadside...
Mr. Le Duy Phu - a resident of Nguyen Phuc Khe Street (located on the ground 6275), Nam Ngan Ward said that to warn, people used tree branches, grass bushes, and cardboard to warn traffic participants. “Families in the neighborhood are very upset and concerned about the existence of these deep holes. We have repeatedly petitioned the residential group, Dong Son Ward People's Committee, and press agencies, but the investor and local authorities have not yet resolved the issue. To limit the risk of accidents, some households buy materials themselves and cover some manholes near their homes. However, this is only a temporary solution because there are still many manholes and drainage holes far from residential areas but where many people pass by.”
Speaking to Dai Doan Ket Newspaper reporter, Mr. Le Manh Hung - Head of Thanh Hoa City Urban Regulation Inspection Team said: “In fact, when they were first invested in and built, all manholes along the roads and residential areas had solid covers, mainly made of cast alloy plates or concrete. However, after being put into use, these covers were damaged or stolen, causing the manholes to become traps on the roads. In the near future, we will coordinate with the Urban Management Department and Thanh Hoa City People's Committee to review the lack of covers throughout the area and have specific plans to promptly overcome the above shortcomings.”
