Newly-elected Da Nang Party Committee Secretary Nguyen Xuan Anh recently paid an inspection visit to the Khanh Son Waste Dump in Lien Chieu District in order to check on the garbage collection and treatment in the area.

During his meeting with nearby local residents, Secretary Anh pledged that the city authorities would take responsibility for dealing with the serious environment pollution problems at the waste dump.  He asked them to keep calm and not to block garbage trucks from going to the area because that would adversely affect local environmental sanitation.
