The emergency project to clear the La Gi Estuary, with a designed volume of approximately 38,000 m3, has completed only about 26,000 m3, missing its original April 30, 2026 deadline set by the Lam Dong Province People’s Committee. Local authorities have now given the contractor until August 10, 2026 to demonstrate committed capacity, after which the contract will be terminated. The directive was issued by the Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment following a July 26 site inspection that found frequent equipment disruptions, leaking pipelines, and continued siltation.
