On May 14, the People’s Committee of Hanoi (UBND TP. Hà Nội) issued a document requesting the Dong Anh District People’s Committee (UBND huyện Đông Anh) to inspect and clarify information about the reclamation of agricultural land in the Red River alluvial area at the foot of the Nhat Tan Bridge (cầu Nhật Tân), Vinh Ngoc Commune, Dong Anh District.
