Authorities in southern Dong Nai Province have asked the National Assembly to reject the proposed hydro-power projects Dong Nai 6 and Dong Nai 6A because of environmental risks.
The hydro-power projects would destroy all upstream forests in the region, said the chairman of Dong Nai People’s Council, Tran Van Tu.
Tu spoke at a meeting with a visiting mission from the National Assembly’s Science, Technology and Environment Committee on Tuesday.
“Residents along Dong Nai River, including those in HCM City, would suffer an unimaginable disaster if the reservoirs of these hydro-power plants broke,” said Tu, who also heads the group of NA deputies from Dong Nai Province.
