(Baonghean.vn) - Hieu Market (Hoa Hieu Ward, Thai Hoa Town) is the gateway center of the Northwest region of Nghe An. The market serves goods for the districts of Quy Hop, Que Phong, Quy Chau... However, the market is in a state of disrepair, with a lot of garbage and a high risk of fire and explosion.

Hieu Market currently has more than 600 business households. In recent years, some items have been invested in upgrading, such as repairing the main and secondary communal houses, but due to lack of synchronous investment, they have seriously degraded. Photo: Van Truong


The use of electrical systems and electrical appliances at Hieu markets does not ensure fire safety. Businesses have messy electrical hookups, and old electrical wires run on flammable materials. Photo: Minh Thai

The walkways in the market are narrow, the small part of the road is occupied by businesses to hang clothes, blocking corridors, escape routes, and emergency exits, making it difficult for fire fighting. Photo: Van Truong

At Hieu market, there is still the phenomenon of cooking right at kiosks and stalls near flammable objects and goods. Photo: Van Truong

Market waste is still piled up around houses near the market, making it very unsanitary. Photo taken on the afternoon of April 6, 2019. Photo: Minh Thai

Mr. Pham Van Thach - Vice Chairman of Thai Hoa Town People's Committee said: Currently, Hieu market has degraded and is in dire need of investment and new construction to ensure environmental hygiene as well as limit the risk of fire and explosion. Photo: Van Truong
