00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:09.529
Ladies and gentlemen, after nearly a
week of reflecting on the situation of 

00:00:09.529 --> 00:00:11.940
dead fish washed ashore on West Lake causing an unpleasant stench, 

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.020
Today, October 23, the situation of dead
fish floating on the lake surface is still happening. 

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:19.973
It not only causes a foul smell but also
ruins the urban beauty of a famous 

00:00:19.973 --> 00:00:21.580
tourist destination when visitors come to Hanoi. 

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:26.360
Can you tell me how the situation of
dead fish in West Lake is affecting the 

00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:27.800
beauty of the area for tourists? 

00:00:28.702 --> 00:00:34.766
I think the image of the dead fish
makes people see the beauty of the urban 

00:00:34.766 --> 00:00:36.662
area as it is reduced. 

00:00:37.022 --> 00:00:41.782
Besides, it has a very unpleasant smell
that makes people feel uncomfortable, especially in public areas. 

00:00:42.142 --> 00:00:47.197
Many types of tourists come here and
they will feel uncomfortable and create 

00:00:47.197 --> 00:00:49.142
a bad image of Hanoi. 

00:00:49.142 --> 00:00:54.847
There is a committee responsible for
these kinds of problems, so why is it 

00:00:54.847 --> 00:00:58.922
that these phenomena still happen and
happen all year round? 

00:00:59.442 --> 00:01:03.102
Every year urgent issues like this have
to be brought up. 

00:01:03.515 --> 00:01:08.942
As soon as I looked at it, I felt
embarrassed and had a feeling that it 

00:01:08.942 --> 00:01:12.335
was hard to want to go
back again, to come. 

00:01:13.505 --> 00:01:16.026
Faced with this situation, people all
hope that the local government will soon 

00:01:16.026 --> 00:01:18.547
have a solution to completely resolve
it, to avoid the situation of dead 

00:01:18.547 --> 00:01:19.905
fish giving off a foul smell again. 

00:01:20.103 --> 00:01:25.286
Each one is for protection inside, not
allowing fish to enter West Lake 

00:01:25.286 --> 00:01:30.469
anymore, not allowing to catch West Lake
anymore, now the whole environment is 

00:01:30.469 --> 00:01:32.463
gone, West Lake is rotten. 

00:01:32.793 --> 00:01:39.488
I think the management should regularly
clean up and remove the dead fish 

00:01:39.488 --> 00:01:43.093
floating on the shore of this lake. 

00:01:43.373 --> 00:01:46.173
Mr. Nguyen Hung Quoc, Deputy Head of the
Standing Committee of the West Lake Management Board said, 

00:01:46.473 --> 00:01:49.193
Compared to previous years, the number
of dead fish on West Lake is not as much. 

00:01:49.513 --> 00:01:52.605
Currently, workers at Drainage Plant No.
1 are still strengthening the cleaning 

00:01:52.605 --> 00:01:53.893
work and collecting dead fish. 

00:01:53.893 --> 00:01:56.986
However, due to weather changes, the
number of dead fish washed ashore and 

00:01:56.986 --> 00:01:58.413
on the lake surface is increasing. 

00:01:58.593 --> 00:01:59.793
so the treatment is not thorough.
