Determining that maintaining security and order must be done well in all conditions and circumstances, especially during the festival, helping visitors feel comfortable and secure has become a mandatory requirement and a task that must be completed. Nghia Dan District Police have promptly forecasted the situation and developed a specific plan to advise local authorities to prepare measures to ensure security and order.

Based on the experience of previous years and grasping the new features of this year's festival, Nghia Dan Police together with a number of related forces quickly and effectively deployed synchronously. The work of ensuring traffic safety and public order was deployed before the sunflower field opened to visitors, the time of the Sunflower Festival and the Western Spring Festival Night 2016.

Accordingly, the District Police Traffic Police force organized patrols along Ho Chi Minh Road, directing traffic, not allowing visitors' vehicles to stop or park on the road. Not allowing households to do business close to the roadside, affecting traffic safety corridors. At the same time, regulating and guiding visitors' vehicles to stop and park according to regulations.

According to the plan, the police force will coordinate with relevant forces to deploy a plan to prevent traffic jams on the route to visit, especially on Saturdays, Sundays, and festivals, when the number of visitors increases. Therefore, since the beginning of the flower season until now, there has been no traffic jams around the sunflower field, creating peace of mind for residents and visitors.

Along with ensuring traffic safety in the festival area, Nghia Dan District Police also closely coordinated with forces and units to deploy solutions to ensure security and order. Accordingly, 100% of officers and soldiers on duty, professional teams, and commune police departments all developed their own plans and solutions to ensure compliance with their functions and tasks.

Major Tran Van Thap, Deputy Head of Nghia Dan District Police, said: “At the festival nights, the District Police mobilized all forces from the District Police, Town Police, Nghia Trung, Nghia Son, Nghia Lam, Nghia Hoi, Nghia Binh communes, along with the militia force to coordinate protection.

Feeling the atmosphere these days in the sunflower field, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Mai, Song Ma district, Son La province smiled happily: “I find it so beautiful. Normally, I only see it on TV and in the newspapers, so I don’t think it’s this big, but coming here, I find it very pleasing to the eye. Coming here, I feel secure because the traffic police are very good at directing traffic and there are no traffic jams. When I come to a place where the police and security forces ensure my safety, I feel very comfortable having fun without having to worry or think. Very happy.”
