Thousands of the Youth Union’s members and local residents, especially young people, enthusiastically took part in these meaningful activities, joined by members of the city's armed forces, stationed troops, and young artists.
Most of them actively cleared garbage and water hyacinth on 200 meters of Ghe May Stream from the Vam Thuat river to Vuon Lai Street and 600 meters of Gia Stream from Vuon Lai Street to Vo Dong Nhi Channel, both of which belong to Tham Luong Channel in District 12.
