Proposal to discipline Director of Hai Phong Department of Transport for negligence in storm prevention
The Hai Phong Department of Transport held a meeting to discuss and propose that the City People's Committee consider the responsibility and disciplinary action against Mr. Dam Xuan Luy, Director of the Hai Phong Department of Transport, for his shortcomings in not being on duty when storm No. 8 made landfall in Hai Phong.
On the afternoon of November 12, a leader of Hai Phong city said that the Department of Transport's Disciplinary Council unanimously proposed that the city discipline Mr. Luy with an administrative reprimand.

Previously, when storm No. 8 made landfall in Hai Phong, under the order of the City's Flood and Storm Prevention and Search and Rescue Command, leaders of departments, branches, and districts had to directly direct flood and storm prevention work in their localities.
However, when the storm hit the area, Hai Phong city leaders were unable to contact Mr. Dam Xuan Luy by phone to direct the work, so they had to contact his deputies to direct the work of storm and flood prevention.
In addition, employees of the Hai Phong Road Company (under the Hai Phong Department of Transport), the unit that manages and operates Binh ferry (the ferry connecting Hai Phong city with Thuy Nguyen district), took advantage of the storm to collect additional money from vehicles passing through the ferry on the afternoon the storm hit Hai Phong.
Among those who were forced to pay extra fees when crossing the ferry were also leaders of the Hai Phong City Party Committee./.
