Hanoi Secretary: Request to restore stable water supply to residents of Thanh Ha Urban Area

Speaking to the press, Mr. Dinh Tien Dung said that the direction of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee is that first of all, the Party Committee of the City People's Committee must focus on directing the emergency water supply by tanker trucks or other appropriate measures to immediately meet the minimum living needs of the people; not letting people have to get water from far away, from many different sources that do not ensure hygiene and safety.
