Nearly 150 sets of human remains were uncovered during drainage system renovations beneath an alley in downtown Hanoi, a local official told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Thursday.

Workers involved in the drainage system renovation found the remains burried nearly a meter below the surface of Alley 167 on Tay Son Street in Dong Da District, according to a leader of the administration of Quang Trung Ward in Dong Da District.
