Speaking of this, Mr. Tran Dinh Khoa – Vung Tau City Party Committee Secretary – admitted that this is “the subjectivity of the Vung Tau City Party Committee Standing Committee” because he thinks that when there is a project, announce the project will pave the way, green trees must be cut down.
“Because they didn’t advertise, they didn’t explain why they had to cut trees before cutting, that’s why people and retired officials went to social media to ask questions. The standing committee reviews, learns deeply about this issue, “said Mr. Tran Dinh Khoa.
After public opinion, the Vung Tau City Party Committee ordered the government to widely communicate, explaining the reasons for the felling, the state of the trees on this road.

Before that, starting on March 8, the city of Vung Tau began to see more than 50 trees, including more than 20 large and old trees on both sides of Thong Nhat Street (the section near Vung Tau Church ). one of the main axes, which has the properties of the longitudinal backbone of city traffic – to expand this path.
When paving the road, these trees fall right in the middle of the road. So far basically Vung Tau City has cut down the old trees on both sides of Thong Nhat Road.
At the beginning of tree felling, there were two opinions: one should not be cut down, to preserve the old trees of Vung Tau; the second is to sacrifice trees for a wide path. In which, the first opinion is discussed with quite a stir on social networks.
The rows of trees on both sides of Thong Nhat Street were not cut down early in the morning.
According to the tree management unit, there are old trees here that have rotted at the trunk, stopped growing and are not “healthy” enough to withstand storms and winds. Some opinions also said that opening a large road also serves people, long-term goals, so sacrificing trees is also the right thing to do.
