In particular, Nghe An Department of Transport affirmed that the inspection team discovered a number of watercraft with registration numbers in Ha Tinh province that were operating on Lam River in violation and that the inspection and handling measures were in accordance with their authority and the provisions of the law.
The acts of obstruction and resistance by some subjects in Ha Tinh province towards the Inspection Team right on Lam River are violations of the law; these acts are reckless, endangering the lives and safety of the officers performing their duties.
The fact that some officials of Ha Tinh province have not coordinated in handling violations shows a lack of responsibility for the common work of the two provinces in ensuring inland waterway traffic safety (Lam River is a national inland waterway).
From this incident, in Document No. 1177, the Department of Transport requested the People's Committee of Nghe An province to direct departments, branches and local authorities to strengthen coordination in state management to ensure safety of inland waterway traffic and prevent and combat crimes and acts of resistance against law enforcement officers.
