The HCMC Department of Natural Resources and Environment has recently made an urgent request to review and make a list of establishments that need relocating since they are not suitable to the city’s urban construction planning for districts 1, 12, Phu Nhuan, Tan Phu and Hoc Mon. Results must be reported to HCMC People's Committee before March 31.
HCMC wants to relocate 82 establishments as they are inconsistent with the city's urban planning.
Accoding to the leader of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, idea of the review is based on opinions and suggestions from the Department of Construction and the district-level People's Committees. However, only Districts 5, 6, 7, 9, Thu Duc, Tan Binh and Binh Tan have sent feedback to the Department of Natural Resources & Environment so far.
The official said his department has received many complaints about environmental pollution caused by establishments and enterprises’ factories in Binh Chanh and District 12 in recent times.
